The cool thing about being in charge of a smaller newsroom is how involved the locals get.

People in Dodge City feel like they have stock in the local newspaper. When people feel like we're doing our job well, they brag us up. When they feel like we're letting them down, they're certainly not afraid to let us know that either.

It's been interesting to note the difference of opinions we've received since we announced our decision to retire the Globe Exchange. While some have said they were pleased to see it go, we've had others that have asked us to reconsider it, as they enjoyed the unvarnished, anonymous opinions.

We definitely appreciate the feedback we've received so far. Good and bad, it shows that people are reading our newspaper and personally involved with our features.
