After reading the Editor’s Note in the May 2 issue, I’m compelled to write you a note. You noted that some HCN readers express concern that the publication is drifting away from its core with stories like the one on the Malheur occupation crowd. I am not one of those readers. To me, that story, along with the vast majority of HCN articles, was consistent with the phrase on each issue’s cover: “For people who care about the West.” So, too, was the article in that issue entitled “A Land Divided.” High Country News is the one journal I read cover to cover.
