The Community Talking to Itself: Inside 170 Years of Midland’s Local Journalism | #65
Logan Richetti sits down with Dave Clark, editor of the Midland Daily News, for an in-depth conversation about the power, purpose, and future of local journalism. With nearly 170 years of history behind it, the Midland Daily News remains deeply rooted in one mission: keeping the community informed, connected, and engaged. Dave shares his personal journey from growing up in Midland to leading one of the region’s most trusted institutions, and why community journalism is often called the “first draft of history.”
The conversation dives into why local news still matters more than ever — from covering city council meetings and school boards to tackling complex issues like aging infrastructure, housing, taxes, and the future growth of Midland. Dave explains how journalism serves as a public service and a community watchdog, while also celebrating the people, businesses, and stories that make Midland special. Whether you read the paper daily or haven’t picked one up in years, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how local news helps a community better understand itself — and where it’s headed next.
