The Villages Daily Sun as a Top 10 daily winner, that's fairly remarkable to me. Granted, it's almost been 20 years since I worked for one of its competitors, but congrats to them.

Honestly, I think it's the fastest growing print paper in the country. Nick and Bill and the team there do a phenomenal job, and their design with Colin Smith is outstanding.

You're right -- I apologize if I sounded condescending. Was an old competitor of mine, now my old shop is a shell of itself and the Daily Sun is thriving. I'm happy for them and, yeah, pretty tough to beat that audience of readers.

No, not at all. You wouldn't think of the Daily Sun being like that, but with it being basically a retirement community, those print numbers can soar. I love working on digital, but I'm a little jealous.

Yeah, nobody covers pickleball like the Villages Daily Sun. *** Now with video, too!!! ***

 

[BTExpress]

heck, I'd finish my career there in a heartbeat if wife would agree to move back to Florida.

I remember joking with a colleague once that The Villages' newspaper might end up being the last one in the U.S. printed on actual newsprint. That might not end up being a joke.
