We are excited to welcome Dink &amp; Eric NeSmith to Newnan for an author talk and book signing.Newspaper Publisher Dink NeSmith started his journalism career at age 10 delivering The Jesup Sentinel from his bicycle. At 24, he purchased an interest in Jesup's competing newspaper, Wayne County Press. Four years later, he joined Community Newspapers to purchase and consolidate The Sentinel and Press; today, he is co-owner of Community Newspapers, based in Athens, which publishes more than two dozen newspapers in Georgia, Florida and North Carolina. Dink is a past president of the Georgia Press Association and Leadership Georgia. His book, "The Last Man To Let You Down," tells the story of his Depression-era father who worked as an undertaker. Rick Bragg says about Dink's book: "If remembering is an art form, then this book is art."Eric NeSmith inherited his journalistic know-how from his father, Dink. Eric was named publisher of "The Bitter Southerner" in 2015, two years after the Athens-based independent media company was founded. Originally a digital-only magazine, today The Bitter Southerner publishes three print magazines annually, publishes books under its BS Publishing imprint, produces records at their BS Records label, puts out the “Batch” podcast, and offers iconic apparel and home goods in the BS General Store. The BS website publishes feature stories and photographic essays and has a strong, nationwide following.Registration will open on May 1st.
