As we honor Bill Baggs on his birthday in our beautiful state park, we also look to the future of journalism inspired by the Press Forward initiative. Just as Baggs believed in the power of a free and fearless press to strengthen democracy and protect our communities, Press Forward seeks to ensure local journalism continues to thrive.
Together, we salute Baggs's enduring influence and celebrate the essential role of news in preserving freedom, justice, and the environment.
