For the Record

Co-producer of director Heather Courtney’s short documentary that follows what may be the last months in the life of the small-town newspaper The Canadian (Texas) Record. An oil bust in this once oil boomtown, coupled with wildfires more than two years ago that ranchers are still recovering from, have slowed the economy. A slow economy means less ad revenue for the paper, as businesses move to free advertising on social media. Can the paper, family owned and run by Laurie Brown, now in her 70’s, survive – and what will it mean to this small community if it ceases to  publish.
