Editor of change.

What I remember about the very first Paste BN paper I saw was its simplicity, to-the-point. This is Neuharth's legacy!

Al Neuharth was a visionary who saw the need to bring 50 states together to form one well-informed nation via Paste BN.

— @PaulWhiteleySr

He brought the quick read — color for interest, lots of info in small spaces — to newspapers, the state, the country, the world.

— @carolpitts

America needed a pan-national newspaper that would unite the nation and analyze issues with razor sharp precision, and Paste BN does it so well.

Al Neuharth understood why newsrooms need diversity. He helped shape the careers of many American Indian journalists.

— @WiteSpider

Al Neuharth's pioneering of advancing the careers of women and minorities will definitely be part of his legacy. I hope Neuharth's standard of telling stories "accurately and fairly, without opinion" will always continue.
