While searching for a quote to begin my first Inside Anderson County editorial, I ran across the following by Adlai E. Stevenson, "An editor is someone who separates the wheat from the chaff and then prints the chaff." While this statement isn't profound, it is often true. The direction of Inside Anderson County is not to publish the chaff but to focus on the positive things that are happening in Anderson County and in the communities and to the individuals in Anderson County.

A friend once told me that Editors aren't very popular or well liked. After giving his statement some thought, I reminded myself that I had experienced the same dilemma as a parent. I determined that my goal as an Editor had to be much like my goal as a parent - to do my job well and not make decisions for the purpose of being popular or well liked.
You will see IAC staff at Chamber of Commerce functions and at community events - be sure to say "hello" and let us know how you like the new IAC.
