GUYSBOROUGH — The team behind the Guysborough Journal has often felt that this paper is the new kid on the block, but that’s hard to say now that The Journal is marking its 30th anniversary this summer. We also don’t have as many newspaper neighbours as we did when our first issue hit newsstands in June, 1994, due to the increasing challenges facing newspapers these days.
To celebrate 30 years in print, we’re going deep into our archives to share some favourite stories from our early-years columnists and reporters. We’re pulling out gems from popular contributors who are no longer with us, such as Sarah Mason Wilson, Judy Jolotta and Annie Doyle – to name a few.
You’ll see these stories from the past pop up on pages in most editions from now until late fall, and we hope you enjoy them. You’ll see them set apart from the current week’s news by our 30th anniversary banner.
This week we get the memories started with the late Allena MacDonald’s coverage of the first Stan Rogers Folk Festival, on page 8 [in this week's edition].
To the many newsmakers and news contributors over the years, thanks for the memories.
