Today I visit with Irene Van Winkle, a writer, journalist, and photographer for the West Kerr Current newspaper in Ingram. Irene shares her journey into journalism, experiences working at various local media outlets, and the critical role local newspapers play in small communities like Ke County. She discusses the unique aspects of local journalism, the impact of natural disasters like floods on the community, and how local media helps in bringing the community together. Irene also touches on the importance of high school sports and the supportive community network that exists in smaller towns.
