Publisher Description:
For nearly 40 years, weekly newspaper editor Mike Buffington has been chronicling life and raising hell in a small Georgia community with columns and editorials in The Jackson Herald, his family's flagship newspaper. Along the way, he has become one of the nation's top award-winning weekly editors having been honored with dozens of state, regional and national awards for opinion writing and investigative reporting. Among colleagues, Buffington is known for having a tenacious editorial voice. Because of that, he was honored in 2015 by the International Society of Weekly Newspaper Editors with its Eugene Cervi Award for a lifetime of aggressive writings. While many of his columns have focused on community issues, he also writes about national and international events, often from a first-hand perspective. From the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 to the Occupy Wall Street movement of 2011, he was in the right place at the right time to report about some major events over the last four decades. Buffington's columns also cover a variety of non-political issues as well. He has written about the deaths of friends and family, the triumph of athletes, murders, The South, war and his personal reflections as a parent. This book brings together 151 of his best columns in a compilation covering these and other topics.
