The Press, that's with a capital "p," is the star of the show tomorrow night at the Mark Twain House and Museum.The new CPTV documentary about the near-demise of your beloved hometown newspaper, The Bristol Press, will be shown for the first time. In addition, there will be a panel discussion that includes some wonderful people, not the least of whom is my own dear husband, Steve Collins.
That alone ought to be worth the price of admission.
If that's not enough, Press Publisher Mike Schroeder is also on the panel, along with Hartford-area media types.
So come one, come all! The auditorium is filling up, I'm told, but there are still seats available. Come to support The Bristol Press, or newspapers, or journalism, or documentaries, to catcall, hoot or applaud the film, to say hello to me, or just to support the museum.
The museum, which is an absolutely awesome place to see all by itself, so if you haven't seen it, you absolutely must go, is celebrating newspapers this month.
The author Sam Clemens, of course, was once a newspaperman. But don't hold that against him. It happens to the best of us.
