Owning a newspaper in a community that needs me, Selma, Alabama

Cindy is grateful for…

I am Cindy Fisher and I own a weekly newspaper in Selma, Alabama. I am grateful to own a newspaper, which has been a dream since I was 14, and I am grateful that I own a newspaper and can practice my profession of journalism in a community that desperately needs me. My newspaper, the Selma Sun, runs positive and informative stories to lift spirits and the economy in the underserved Black Belt region of Alabama. As a single mom for six years, I didn’t think I could afford to own my own business in a difficult industry like newspapers. But Selma residents were so hungry for good news, they have embraced the Selma Sun and we grow readers and advertisers every month.
