Future Leaders Don’t Read the Daily News
Does it bother you that the people that want to be the leaders in Bowling Green don’t read the local newspaper every single day?
Yesterday, as has happened in past years, Leadership Bowling Green members toured the Daily News.
We split the large group (25 - 30) into two smaller groups. While I’m taking half on a tour of the building, Mike Alexieff, managing editor, talks shop with the other half. Then we switch.
At the end of the tour, I ask how many read the Daily News. I don’t specify online or in print. For the past few years, the response has been about the same, at best six to eight read it online, but less than that get the print edition.
These future leaders owe it to the community to know as much as they can about the community. If they aren’t reading the newspaper everyday, they are living in a cocoon.
I expect more. I hope you feel the same.
