"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."

Bibb Student Serves as Page in Alabama House

Bibb County High School student Savannah Stripling on Friday completed a week-long stint as an official page of the Alabama House of Representatives. Stripling, 15, is the daughter of Brent Mayor Dennis Stripling and his wife, Lori.
 
State Representative April Weaver, who sponsored Stripling to page for the House, thanked Stripling for her service to the Legislature saying the young lady made her hometown proud.
 
“Savannah is a bright, capable young woman who I know has a bright future,” remarked Representative Weaver. “The Legislature can be an intimidating place, but Savannah handled herself with the upmost composure and professionalism. I know Mayor  and Mrs. Stripling are proud of their daughter, as they should be. I appreciate Savannah’s willingness to serve her state, and I hope she found it to be a rewarding experience.”
