It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no secret that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a champion of smaller papers particularly. And as I hit the road every summer to lead journalism workshops at community newspapers \u00e2\u20ac\u0153from Murphy to Manteo,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m always encouraged by the innovative ways hometown papers have found to remain vital and sustainable. Harry Coleman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s paper up in Creedmoor doubles as a farm history museum; James McDougald\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Maxton Times is located in his laundromat. And here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s my latest discovery: West of Asheville in the charming mountain town of Marshall, the News-Record &#038; Sentinel has its offices in two railroad boxcars. You can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make this stuff up. Posing proudly outside their freight cars\/office, the weekly paper\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s staff includes, left to right: Anna Freeman, graphic designer\/reporter; Chris Rice, general manager and editor; Micky Huot, sales representative; and Somer Fanke, administrative assistant. Former N-R&#038;S owners Louise Spieler and Keith King tell me the depot digs resulted from another publisher who was a railroad buff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A THOUSAND WORDS<\/strong><br \/>\nDo you have an important old photo that you value?
