Nancy Townsley launches her debut novel, 'Sunshine Girl', which explores the evolution of newspaper journalism from 1980 to 2017 through three journalists' perspectives. After graduating from Oregon State University and starting at the Newberg Graphic, Townsley showcased the multifaceted role of a community journalist, engaging with various topics and formats. Her career spanned multiple local publications, culminating in a retirement that came after a shift in newsroom dynamics left her disenchanted. Townsley aims to highlight the importance of journalism in reflecting community stories through her narrative.
"I enjoyed it a whole lot, until I didn't enjoy it near the very end, which was when I decided it was a good time to leave..."
"I got to understand the value of writing stories that reflected back to our readers and to the community what was happening there."
