A trip to the newspaper convention reveals something about Lake City
Feb 11, 2026
Last week, fellow Graphic staffer Sarah Ziebarth and I traveled to Brooklyn Park to attend the 159th annual Minnesota Newspaper Association (MNA) Convention. As the state’s largest gathering of journalists and publishers, the event was a whirlwind of educational sessions, networking, and a keynote...
Change continues at Graphic with new staff, technology
Dec 3, 2025
A few weeks ago, a small ad calling for a Newspaper Production and Sales Associate at our local newspaper was advertised. It was the Lake City job I’d been looking for. Since wrapping up my college experience earlier this year, I was doubtful of finding something that would allow me to utilize the...
Graphic editor speaks to Rotary Club
Sep 11, 2024
Your Lake City Rotary welcomed our Lake City Graphic newspaper editor Andrew Eggenberger today (Sept. 9) as our guest speaker.
It was so interesting to hear all the history.
Hard to believe it has been around since 1861! And I might add still going strong. The Shopper made it’s appearance in 1959...
Reporting on commission removal missed key elements
Jul 17, 2024
Most letters to the editor begin by being critical of some issue and or action or lack of action on something. However, I am choosing not to begin that way but by offering a grateful thank you to the many people who have reached out to me over this past week. I am deeply humbled and very...

I know it is not a hard rule to avoid national issues but the one about avoiding insults...
Insulting that editor doesn’t follow guidelines
Mar 10, 2021
Once again, I do not blame Richard Butler for spewing political divisive rhetoric in the previous editions of the Graphic.
My issue is with the editor who continues to insult the intelligence of the readers, subscribers and advertisers by not following the Graphic’s own guidelines and policies...
About those guidelines
Mar 10, 2021
This week the Graphic is publishing two letters critizing the application of our published letters guidelines.
I will address both of them, but first I want to encourage you to read the criticisms from Nathan Schumacher and Troy Emerson in full in case I inadvertently mischaracterize their...
Parrott’s passing left a huge hole in many
Nov 4, 2020
As a former journalist, in our lengthy career and life’s journey, we meet and encounter many people. Most meetings are just a passing “fleeting” moments but a handful garner and establish a very long term friend relationship, and that is why I am writing my memories of Bob Parrott.
The journey...
