Newspaper not the soul of the community

You and your paper are not “The Soul of the Community”, just a soul of the community

Editor, the Times;

After reading your editorial “Small town newspapers are the soul of their communities”, I decided it was time to write a letter to the editor!

I hate to deflate your puffed ego, but the soul of the community can be many different things to many people.

For some, it might be the church, or the school, or maybe even our new shopping centre.  You might even dip into the shallow end of the gene pool and find that, to some, it might be the roundabout!

It is my opinion that all these things combined make “The Soul of the Community”. So you see, Mr. Editor, you and your paper are not “The Soul of the Community”, just a soul of the community.
