Local Girl Makes Good

 

 

John Duvall conducted an in-depth interview with Terri House, Owner, Editor and Publisher of the Pagosa Springs Sun last week.  Terri is also a Rotarian and a Past President of the Noon Rotary Club. John asked Terri to elaborate about the numerous awards the Pagosa Springs Sun has been honored with. Terri explained that the paper was awarded the TOP WEEKLY paper of their size state-wide as well as receiving the TOP National award for the Visitors Guide.

 

When asked about her operating strategy; Terri responded that her priorities were to keep her eye focused on journalism's ethics and on what matters to the community.  Terri also said that hardest thing about her roles at the paper would be writing the editorials when they may not always be well received by some people.  

 

Terri told us that the Pagosa Springs Sun is the only remaining newspaper in Colorado still printing their publication on their own press!  She started working at the newspaper as a class project when she was 15 years old.   She envisions the Pagosa Springs Sun still being a print product five years from now even though she may continue to expand the types of digital offerings.
