Friday and Saturday, the Nebraska Press Association celebrated 150 years during the annual NPA Convention, this year in Lincoln.
I started my journey toward Lincoln Friday morning, and after an unfortunate flat tire on the interstate, I finally rolled my way into the parking garage ready to see familiar faces and join in on the informational sessions.
NPA Executive Director Dennis DeRossett called the NPA a big family, and it truly is.
It’s exciting to see familiar faces and have conversations with friends you otherwise don’t get to see throughout the year. And if you don’t know someone, it’s pretty easy to introduce yourself and get to know them quickly.
We’re a big family, all with different personalities, backgrounds, worldly views, and yet, we all strive toward one goal—telling the stories of our communities, good or bad, in a factual and engaging way for our readers.
