Ilene Olson is news editor of the twice-weekly Powell Tribune, circulation 4,000.

The city of Powell has just 5,300 residents. Not all the paper's subscribers are residents; many once lived, worked or attended college in the town. But that's still a pretty impressive percentage rate!

A news staff of four covers the traditional beats, including courts and cops, and makes sure to tell the local feature stories as well or better than its three print competitors, says Olson.

Issues affecting national lands and and agriculture get special attention.

"The reason I started in journalism is really the reason I stay," she says. "I love people and finding out what makes them tick."

The paper and the town turn 100 this year.
