                  A TRIBUTE TO THE MIDLAND DAILY NEWS

                             HON. DAVE CAMP

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 30, 2012

  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to the Midland 
Daily News on its landmark 75th year in operation. First published on 
May 1, 1937, the Daily News set out to provide the people of Midland 
and the surrounding areas with the news and information they would need 
to thrive as a community. Seventy-five years later, the paper is still 
standing strong amidst a changing media landscape, having never once 
missed publication of a single print issue.
  News today looks nothing like it did when the Midland Daily News was 
first published. The paradigms of journalism have shifted and news is 
being disseminated at an increasingly rapid rate, but the Midland Daily 
News adapted to change and thrived as a newspaper. It has served as a 
vital source of information and an important forum for debates on the 
most pressing issues impacting the Midland area and our nation.
  On behalf of the Fourth Congressional District, I congratulate the 
Midland Daily News on this landmark occasion and commend the Daily 
News' publisher and staff for 75 years of quality journalism.
