HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US! 50th anniversary issue out, and Publisher Alan Leveritt is appropriately suited on the cover. Excellent issue, if I do say so myself. On newsstands now!

This is heartbreaking news. Got to know Alice when she was a TV reporter here and later when she worked for Gov Huckabee.

Alice was kind and considerate, always. She was loyal to the candidates she worked for and also understood the role of the reporters who covered them. This is so shocking and sad. cnn.com/2024/05/18/politics/…

I may never get a national nod, but it sure feels good to let y'all know the Arkansas Press Women just awarded first place for general non-fiction book to The Great Arkansas Pie Book (and third place for its layout). I can finally say it's award-winning! #ArkansasFood

Nice details about Bates statue: she's holding a newspaper in her arm and a pen and pad in her other hand. Bates and her husband founded the Arkansas State Press newspaper.

Once the crowd went away following this afternoon’s ceremony, I went back and got these images of the Bates statue.
