I love little-known history and this story is a riveting one. The fact that Rossignol himself plays a big part in it is also quite intriguing.This book recounts the history of a small-town newspaper in Maryland that was run much different than any other. Pretty much a one-man show, run by Rossignol, the St. Mary's Today newspaper was known for its flashy tabloid-esque headlines and no-holds-barred news reporting. Readers seemed to love it, unless they were the ones being reported on. This is where the controversy arose. One story in particular, about a decades-old rape involving a now candidate for states attorney caused much contention. In fact, after a late night raid by a posse of deputies of all of the news stands just before the election, things got interesting. With the FBI now involved, Constitutional rights came into question.This was a fascinating account, not only of an interesting news story that I found pretty disturbing, but also of the rights of the newspaper to report the news as it saw it years later. The publisher's motives were called into question at every turn and this isn't surprising when people, good or bad, are fighting for their political lives. Another well written and fascinating account from Rossignol.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.THE WAY NEWSPAPERS SHOULD BEBy S. FaatzThe Story of The Rag is a cutting and brilliant story of the newspaper St. Mary's Today.....the blurb tells us "In the short course of less then one year, a small-town newspaper which was run on a shoe-string was featured on the front page of two major newspapers and on network news, all due to covering the news with loud flashy headlines that "shouted" the news rather than boring its readers to tears. In short the news made news. That was just the beginning, before long the newspaper would be the target of an organized effort by a county sheriff and his deputies ad a candidate for states attorney to clean the newspaper off the newsstands the night before an election and results in a landmark First Amendment case which is now the law of the land."We can see this story is a story of a dying breed of newspapermen and women. There are newspapermen and then there are those who do not candy coat the news. This is when a newspaper took a side and the editorial staff didn't worry about the fallout. They called it like they saw it and showed the public what was wrong with the system, be it with drug dealers, unsavory politicians or corrupt businessmen. They were exposed and brought to justice. Ken Rossignal did a great job of showing it like it is and how newspapers should be run.11 of 11 people found the following review helpful.Been There, Done That, Loved It!By Nick RussellAs a former small town newspaper publisher myself, who was known for stepping on toes and exposing what public official's hand was caught in the cookie jar or under the wrong skirt, I related very well to Ken Rossignol's great book, The Rag. I've dealt with many of the same type of corrupt elected and appointed officials, including a county sheriff who stood in my office and swore to stop my car and shoot me dead some dark night.If you've ever wondered what it was like to peel the thin veneer of civility off a small town and look underneath, this book will do the trick. Ken Rossignol is the kind of courageous newspaperman I admire, and that I'd love to sit down and swap war stories with.Be warned, don't start this book unless you have time to finish it, because it is a fascinating read that I didn't want to put down. The only problem I had with the book was that on my Kindle, the editorial cartoons were hard to see, and they were very much a part of the newspaper's character. This is a problem with the basic Kindle, and they showed up much better on my iPad. But don't let that stop you, as I said, the story is fascinating.See all 86 customer reviews...
