Wrangler News

Aug 5 - Tracey Doren, publisher of the Wrangler News, gave us a brief history of the Wrangler News and her involvement with it. The Wrangler News began 21 years ago and currently has a circulation of 20,000. The paper concentrates its attention on 3 zip codes and focuses on the "good news" stories and events that occur in this restricted area. Tracy's presentation generated much discussion among the members about the role of local papers compared to regional papers and television. We also learned that the paper is interested in receiving public-interest stories but they should be kept to less than 500 words.
