Editorial - Echo Press to endorse candidates soon
With Election Day drawing nearer, readers will soon be seeing the Echo Press’ endorsement of candidates. Through the years, some readers have objected to our decision to endorse candidates. They’ve said that the newspaper has no business telling them who they should vote for. They’ve said endorsements show our “bias’ toward candidates and that the newspaper should stick only with the facts.

Guest Editorial - A bright future lies ahead for newspapers
In an era where anyone can say anything and call it news, it is newspaper content that consistently gets it right and keeps it in context. And a critical part of the industry evolution is the recognition that if you want to separate the serious from the sludge, it might cost you a little money.

Guest Editorial - Did Jesus have a sense of humor?
I know you don’t read this column expecting any comments about theology. After all, I have the same background in theology you do: none. Nevertheless, even those of us without training have questions now and then. So when a question arises that the theologians haven’t answered (maybe haven’t even pondered), we ponder ourselves and speculate.

Editorial - More open governments benefit us all
The caller on the other end of the phone line was near exacerbation. He had been given the run-around by government officials, the very people he put in office to represent him, and his quest for answers was met time and again with roadblocks.

Forum Communications Editorial - Vote Romney to move nation ahead
There’s little argument President Obama has been aggressive, bold and willing to take chances in the name of returning our nation to a place of prosperity and security. Recall his stimulus bills, the bailouts, the Affordable Care Act and even the daring mission that took out Osama bin Laden.

Editorial - Don't give up fight against lake invaders
As the chair of the Statewide Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Advisory Committee, I am writing at the request of the full committee to firmly rebut a developing theme in recent news stories and legislative committee debate that Minnesota cannot be successful in stopping the spread of AIS.

Editorial - It's time for a heart-to-heart talk with parents
It may be uncomfortable but it’s time to have a heart-to-heart talk with your aging parents. About what they envision for their future – where they want to live, what they’ll do after they retire, how much health care they’ll need and where they’ll receive it, if they want to leave a legacy for their children, and how their finances fit into the picture.

Editorial - Support local firefighters
We don’t think of them every day but they are always ready, around the clock 365 days a year, to save our homes and loved ones. And, aside from receiving retirement benefits, they’re not even getting paid to do it. They are your volunteer firefighters.
