  "textContent": "Hello community,\n\nToday is the first annual Local News Day, a day to celebrate the importance of local journalism. The Beacon is only as strong as its relationships; it's relationship with you, the reader, and our relationships with other entities in our rural community.\n\nSo, to celebrate Local News Day, Beacon editor Nhatt Nichols sat down with KPTZ board chairman Jon Pinnow to talk about the importance of local news, and the role accurate information plays in being a good citizen and neighbor.\n\nYou can hear that conversation at 11.45 on KPTZ (that's basically now!) or by clicking below.\n\nLocal news day 260409\n\n0:00\n\n/515.969479\n\n1×\n\nThanks for helping us celebrate the first ever Local News Day!\n\nPS, additional thanks to everyone who let us know we sent our style guide out to everyone. It was an accident, but I've really appreciated all of your thoughtful feedback.\n\nDonate To The Beacon",
