For the Record: In a small Texas Panhandle town, which over the decades has lived through oil booms and busts, devastating wildfires, and a diminishing population, a few things have remained constant – cowboys, high school football, conservative voters, and the family-owned weekly The Canadian Record. Despite its liberal editorials in the second-most conservative county in the country, The Record is loved and relied on by the community. But now, editor and publisher Laurie Brown is inching toward 70, and a recent oil bust coupled with advertisers’ preference for social media is making it hard to keep the paper alive. For The Record is a mostly verite documentary that follows one year in the life of the small-town newspaper The Canadian (Texas) Record, in what might be its last year.

We'll also feature a short segment of a new, Colorado-produced journalism documentary, "Truth Be Told," a portion of which was filmed in Ouray County this summer and featured the Plaindealer.

A Q&A with treats will follow.
