MURPHY: Georgia Press Association inducts EEB into Golden Club

By J.K. Murphy  |  It was 1947 when a young Elliott Brack first entered the newspaper business. He was 12 years old and each afternoon, Monday through Saturday, the young entrepreneur could be seen pedaling his bike over the streets of Macon, Ga., delivering The Macon News to his customers’ doorsteps.

BRACK: Gwinnett legislators: Address county commission’s salaries

By Elliott Brack |  Gwinnettians have just elected a new 30-member diverse delegation to the State Legislature. A pressing issue should be their first order of business: they should address the inadequate salaries of the Gwinnett County Commission.

BRACK: My first real work was under frantic and constant pressure

By Elliott Brack  |  It doesn’t hurt to be under pressure to see how you fare. Now what to me seems tame these days was right up there in a pressured situation back in my early days in a newsroom. It was the first Friday night in September with me just starting to work on The Macon Telegraph, the morning newspaper. Previously I had been on the afternoon paper, and moved to the a.m. paper on Labor Day.

BRACK: Here’s a glimmer of hope which might improve Washington politics

BRACK: Here’s a glimmer of hope which might improve Washington politics

By Elliott Brack | When something is in disarray, any little speck of hope is important.

Certainly our current Congress, the 115th gathering, is in “disarray.”  Each of the two parties has fringe elements that keep the mainline party leadership unable to convince the majority of their parties that real action is needed.

BRACK: Circle drive around Gwinnett shows continued vibrant activity

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | At least two times a year, we make a circular tour of Gwinnett County, to keep up with the continued change in the landscape. Every time we travel this route, we find new activity.

This week we found some overnight activity: a Tuesday night storm inflicted tree damage all around the county, as we encountered Georgia Power and Jackson EMC (and surely Walton EMC) crews around Gwinnett repairing damage from the storm. The damage was scattered, but seen through much of Gwinnett.

BRACK: Here’s why some people say to me: You haven’t changed a bit!”

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | There’s a new mug shot looking out at you today. And there’s a story behind that.

It goes back years ago to my days publishing a weekly newspaper in South Georgia. During the political season, many of the candidates would come in for the editor to help them in writing their “political announcement,” which would be a paid advertisement for the candidate in the newspaper up until the election.
