This year's Association of Free Community Papers (AFCP) Publisher of the Year recipient, Karen Sawicz, first got ink in her blood when she was 12 years old.

A familiar face in the free paper industry and a valued member of Free Community Papers of New York has been named the AFCP, Association of Free Community Papers Executive Director.

Yes, we were in a recession and the newspaper industry was changing; but I counted the resilience and stick-to-itiveness of our publishers and concluded that time would yield the energy and effort necessary to the changes ahead. I was optimistic, but perhaps for the wrong reasons.
