Pot story engages readers in small town in S.C.


Link


Not to be so overoccupied with media coverage of marijuana eradication (law enforcement term) but here's the link to a story which appeared
last year in the Chester (S.C.) News & Reporter, a twice-a-week 7,500-circulation community newspaper in rural S.C.


Key questions:

1. Why or why isn't this quality community journalism?

2. What tools does the writer employ to engage his readers?

3. Should marijuana be legalized? (Joking on this last one.)

The link to the pot story from last year, worth reading, is:
