Editor:
Although belated, I offer cheers, appreciation, and a gratitude shout out to Thadeus Greenson for all his good work and dedication during his time at the helm of the North Coast Journal (“In Gratitude” and “Editorial Changes and a Fond Farewell,” July 3). Who among us did not benefit in some way from his dedication and diligence in sharing the information that we need to know about our community? Under his guidance, we learned about local issues, the awards piled up, and the quality of the stories and the reporting never faltered. I especially appreciated Thad’s thoughtful editorials which reflected an integrity that is increasingly rare in the larger newsprint products. Although we will miss him, I am certain the folks at the First Amendment Coalition, and future journalists, will benefit.
As the paper goes forward under the leadership of his successor, Jennifer Fumiko Cahill, I expect we here in Humboldt County will continue to be the envy of those who live without a local, independent, and trustworthy source of news. Congrats all around, and onwards!
