From the October 12, 1993 edition of The Wayne Herald
We're only 117
This week, the Wayne Herald celebrates a birthday of sorts, it officially turned 117 on Oct. 1, but the staff celebrates the birth-day during National Newspaper Week, with is Oct. 10-16 this year. While this is a week to promote the role of newspapers in their communities and nation, Wayne Herald Publisher Les Mann said it also should be a week to commend the people in the community who support and insure the future service of the newspaper.
As a newspaper staff, the folks we like to salute this week are those who are concerned enough to write us letters, especially crucial ones; people realize the benefits of advertising in their hometown newspapers; people who read to stay informed about their local governments and the activities and accomplish-ments of the neighbors. "We like to think of the Wayne Herald as being reflected of what is a great community," Mann said. "You can't have a great newspaper without a great community behind it.
