LEINASSAR DMD, FAGD 503/325-0310 1414 MARINE DRIVE, ASTORIA www.smileastoria.com health and development. Cleaning baby’s teeth can be done by gauze, a finger swipe, or a small brush. Make it quick and fun!! Remember that a night-time bottle with milk has lactose ( milk sugar) and juice has fructose or sucrose (sugar) and if it sits on teeth day after day problems are going to develop. Baby teeth are small with thin enamel so they are important to keep clean. The Daily Astorian In December 1987, Steve Forrester succeeded his father, J.W. Forrester, as editor of The Daily Astorian. Q: Where can I find a Book: ‘People like a fighting newspaper’ Continued from Page 1A With material that errs on the informational rather than colorful side, the book may put off readers uninterested in the finer points of running a news operation. What will make the biggest impression? “The fierce com- mitment of that family over three generations — four gen- erations now — to succeed- ing in community journal- maintain it.” There’s a deeper value every journalistic enterprise must consider: “What are the basic principles that you won’t sacrifice over time, that you feel — under whatever eco- nomic and political and social circumstances — will stand the test of time?” If “Grit and Ink” has a cen- tral message — a philosophy of how journalism should be practiced — Willingham said it is captured in a quote by Jackson that serves as an epi- graph for Chapter 1: “Print the truth. Fight for the right. Peo- ple like a fighting newspaper.” “I think that motto really runs through the entire history of the Forrester family news- paper adventure,” Willingham said.

Steve Putman Independent observer EO Media Group CEO Steve Forrester, The Daily Astorian’s former editor and publisher, asked Willingham to write the company’s history back in 2014. Though “Grit and Ink” is a book about the company, pub- lished by the company, Will- ingham said it isn’t an “autho- rized biography.” The ground rules for research were “wide open,” he said. “I had a totally free hand to go wherever the research took me, and I had no interference whatsoever with the process,” he said. The book will be distrib- uted by Oregon State Univer- sity Press. Willingham read through EO records, dug through doc- uments at the Oregon Histori- cal Society and researched sec- ondary sources. He studied the company’s two daily papers, handful of weeklies and 20 years of online editions. In addition, he interviewed Mike Forrester, Steve’s older brother — who like their father, J.W. “Bud” Forrester, also edited The Daily Asto- rian and EO — Heidi Wright, the company’s chief operating officer; John Perry, the retired COO; and John Shaver, the company’s retired chief finan- cial officer. And he had con- tinuing conversations with Steve Forrester and other fam- ily members. Steve Forrester said he learned things about his fam- ily’s company that he never knew. “From listening to din- ner-table conversations, I knew that there had been an unsuccessful venture in Idaho” — namely, the company’s pur- chase and subsequent sale of LEO FINZI Astoria’s Best.com 10TH STREET Fighting newspapers ism, to really do what it took and make the sacrifices to keep those newspapers alive,” Will- ingham said, “because they felt the value they were add- ing to the community and the importance of what they were doing.” Part of that value comes from the decision to remain a print publication, something that appears at people’s door- steps and dentist’s offices. “I think that’s still what you need for an identity with your community,” Willingham said. “There is that physical pres- ence that’s really necessary, and of course the difficult job is to convince the country that that’s still important. Because when everything is online, it’s so easy to lose sight of it, or to forget what it takes to ASTORIA TRANSIT CENTER Depression — why some papers succeeded and others folded, and why they aggres- sively promoted the develop- ment of their towns. “If the paper’s going to thrive, the community has to thrive, and vice versa,” he said. “Grit and Ink” also high- lights celebrated moments for the local press — such as Astoria Evening Budget edi- tor Merle Chessman’s bold editorial stand against the Ku Klux Klan, or EO editor Edwin Aldrich’s push to save a woolen mill and jump-start the Pendleton Round-Up. “You learn a lot of Ore- gon history, actually, through this book in a way,” Willing- ham said. “You see what the editors saw was important in their communities, and what they reported on, and what they commented on, and tried through their editorials to shape the response of the com- munities to those events.” Finally, the book shows how community journalism has changed from the late 19th century to the present — and how much of the profession remains the same. Indeed, the values laid down by legendary EO edi- tor C.S. “Sam” Jackson were values Aldrich, his successor, built upon — a commitment to fierce independence, accurate and fair reporting, champion- ing the underdog and serving as the voice of the community. the Twin Falls Times in the early 20th century. “From Bill’s research I learned the details,” he said. “The book has been four years in the making, so it is most heartening to see the fin- ished product that is so com- pelling and attractive,” he added. wide assortment of parts and cables?
