For Bill Wyman
—who truly knows how to celebrate Christmas—
with love and gratitude
And to the worlds of the newsroom
and public and academic libraries.
May newspaper journalism find its way and thrive again
even as technology changes, because a free press
staffed by professional reporters and editors
is nothing short of fundamental to a democratic society.
Similarly, another foundation of democracy
may be found in libraries, where staff members
protect patron privacy while they also dedicate their
efforts to ensuring freedom of access
to information.
