We noted with some sadness the June 12, 2025 column by Jamey Honeycutt, publisher of the Clinton County Leader, expressing that "without support, the Clinton County Leader will close".
While the Leader and Citizen-Observer are, for practical purposes fierce competitors, creating natural rivalries and sometime issues with each other, I am being 100% honest when I say that I appreciate Jamey's work as a publisher, admire his efforts as an entrepreneur, and absolutely give him all the credit in the world for giving me a chance to step into the newspaper business at my advanced age with the Trenton Republican-Times.
He taught me to be on the lookout for when I went to cover a story, to look for the three or four or five other stories that sprung forth just from paying attention.
That was a valuable lesson to me.
While our time together didn't end as I would have wished it to end, I appreciate the contribution he made to helping me bring skillsets I never knew I had to my current position at the C-O.
Jamey has a lifetime of investment in Clinton County and helped to shape the Citizen-Observer earlier in his career. He has a folksy writing style I appreciate, a really keen handle on how the world works, and served the County very well in his time at the Leader.
I hope Clinton County responds and rallies to the support of the Leader. Jamey is correct when he points to the exceptional talent of his editor, Brent Adkisson, who has done the hard work for twenty years down in Plattsburg.
While we may compete for ad dollars and readers, and speaking for myself now, I told Jamey a year ago when he made a "push" to expand the footprint of the Leader, that "Fortune Favors the Bold".
Hang in there, guys, and keep fighting the good fight. It's worth the effort.
Small towns begin to die when their newspapers close down, businesses leave, and schools close and are consolidated into bigger ones.
A community never knows what it has until it's gone. Wishing you the best.
