MPA Executive Director Layne Bruce was a reporter, editor and publisher
before joining the Association in 2006 as director of marketing. He wrote a weekly newspaper column for 15 years that appeared in the Daily Times Leader (West Point), The Star-Herald (Kosciusko), Starkville Daily News, Webster Progress-Times (Eupora), DeSoto County Tribune (Olive Branch) and Glasgow (KY) Daily Times.
His column for MPA, March of Events, appears in the Associaton's Fourth Estate newsletter and on the MPA blog Inkblots. While his column touches on developments at the Association and with the news business, his opinions are his own and don't necessarily reflect those of the MPA staff or Board of Directors.
