Once a week, five million Canadians turn to the home town paper for local news. The film shows the paper's relationship to the community, gathering from one day spent with the weekly editor a picture of those local events that will be news tomorrow. We meet the people whose names are scattered through the pages--the mayor and his hope of a new city hall, the local angler who breaks a record, the lacrosse team sharing spectators with the band concert in the park.
