Georgia Community Journalism Has Always Been on Mike Buffington's Mind
A fantastic acceptance speech in June, followed by heartfelt praise from a colleague in July.
This may be as sweet as receiving, last month, the 2015 Eugene Cervi Award from The International Society of Weekly Newspaper Editors (ISWNE). Praise from a colleague that Mike Buffington, editor and co-publisher of Main Street News, is completely deserving of the honor.
The prize, named in memory of the late former Rocky Mountain Journal editor, recognizes a lifetime of public service through community journalism. And it was in fact 50 years ago that Buffington’s parents sold everything they had and purchased a failing weekly newspaper in northeast Georgia.
