Gary O'Donoghue meets local newspaper editors in America to hear about the challenge of reporting during a divisive presidential election campaign. In Kansas, Gary visits Eric Meyer, the owner and editor of the Marion County Record. In August 2023 the paper鈥檚 offices, and the home of its 90-year-old owner, Eric鈥檚 mother Joan, were raided by the town's five person police department. A "good old fashioned newspaper war" has been playing out in Westcliffe, Colorado, where Gary meets Jordan Hedberg, editor of the Wet Mountain Tribune. In the same town, the Sangre de Cristo Sentinel, promises 鈥渁 different view from the same mountains鈥�. Gary also hears about how trust in local news, which has traditionally played a big part in local politics, is being eroded.
