Dan Crowley’s recent piece on the Northampton mayor’s disagreement with the Forbes Library trustees in your weekend edition was good journalism.
He followed the facts back 30 years, talking to the people who have been involved in this debate.
He took the time to understand the issues, uncover relevant information and present a coherent picture of a dispute among responsible people doing their duty.
Crowley’s work brings the city authentically alive and makes it interesting for readers of the newspaper.
It is a welcome relief from comic strip villains and victims that often passes for news.
Good reporters and a paper that supports them is a great Northampton asset.
