There's something irrepressible about the urge some people, like freckle-faced, eight-year-old Hilde Lysiak in Selinsgrove, Pa., have about gathering and publishing information, in Hilde's case as the monthly The Orange Street News. (That's where she lives.) The Columbia Journalism Review's story about Hilde's journalistic enterprise, assisted on the production side by her journalist father, Matt Lysiak, provides hope that journalism, in one manner or another, will continue as a life discipline for enough people that we'll have an unquenchable flow of information about our communities.

Right on Hilde!
