Here from beginning to the end
Jim thanked me for my contribution to the paper these past five years, and I thanked him for giving me one last shot at journalism. He took me on in 2000, when I was 75 years old. Today, I'm 79 and still working, at least until I finish this piece. I had a byline on page one of the first edition of the Post-Herald in 1950. And today, I have a byline in the last edition of my newspaper. That has a nice ring to it, a real sense of closure, of completion, of rounding things out. I remember coming to the old Post in 1948, a green kid just out of journalism school at the University of North Carolina. I couldn't buy a story at first, working my way up to writing obits from typing up all the sermon topics in town. Things changed when I got a Speed Graphic camera.

Outrage as China police chase reporter for "libel"
Zhang had ordered the jailing of a woman for libel for sending a satirical text message alleging corruption after her gas station was demolished to make way for a market with meager compensation, according to Zhu's report. There have been several high-profile cases of Chinese local officials retaliating against authors of satirical text messages suggesting corruption with demotions or even detentions in recent years. But in some cases the officials have stepped back after outcries on national media and the Internet. Two Xifeng officials traveled 900 km to visit Zhu's editors in Beijing on Friday, demanding the magazine, affiliated to the state-run Legal Daily newspaper, issue a "clarification" for the "unfounded" report, the Beijing News said. "Three policemen from Xifeng broke into the room just as I rejected the officials' request, showing a subpoena for Zhu on suspicion of libel," it quoted Faren's chief editor, Wang Fengbin, as saying.
