"We are the front lines of truth advocacy. Major media outlets have traded truth for sensationalism, and online news sites have no real legal concerns to keep them in check. Digital text is not ink. The community newspapers are left as the only legally challenged body of information. We cannot afford to lie. We cannot afford to be inaccurate. We are the last stand for freedom of the press. We are the last of the true journalists."

New polls up

The Christmas polls are officially closed.   You will notice that there are 3 new polls for our readers.  We hope you will all participate.  You, our beloved citizens and readers have the ability to select Bibb County's "Moment of the Year" and "Newsmaker of the Year."
The candidates have been selected on a number of criteria.  For "Moment of the Year" stories which seemed to have a greater emotional impact and which were endearing in some way to the community made the list.  Some made the list due to the amount of conversation and buzz it generated.  
For "Newsmaker of the Year" we decided to select candidates who generated positive stories and who made a shining impact on the community.  The winner will be given the title of Bibblogger first Annual "Newsmaker of the Year" award.  
"Newsmaker of the Year" will be final on January 31st.  Moment of the Year however must be selected by no later than December 31st.  Look for a 2010 in Review article to appear in the Centreville Press over the next 2 weeks and an extended version of these to appear on Bibblogger.  
There is also a final poll for you all to let us know if you plan on resolving something for 2011.  Happy New Year!
