The Light on the Coast
-
Tomales Regional History Center has just published The Light on the Coast: 65 Years of News Big and Small as Reported in The Point Reyes Light. The book, which I wrote with Jacoba Charles, is the post-World War II history of West Marin's lively little towns and their Pulitzer Prize-winning weekly newspaper. Click here to read about it.

Welcome to the blog of David Mitchell, editor & publisher emeritus of The Point Reyes Light. In 1979, The Light won the Pulitzer Prize for Meritorious Public Service for an exposé largely written by him of the increasingly violent Synanon cult. Mitchell retired in November 2005 after 35 years of newspapering, 27 of those at The Light.
During his newspaper career, he also worked for the old San Francisco Examiner, Sonora’s Daily Union Democrat in the Sierra Nevada, and Council Bluff’s daily newspaper, The Nonpareil. In addition, he edited the weekly Sebastopol (California) Times. Mitchell holds a master’s degree in Communications and a bachelor’s degree in English from Stanford University. He was born on Nov. 23, 1943, and lives in Point Reyes Station on the rural coast north of San Francisco.

Your posting of the offer for a “Free Pre-Paid Cremation! (DETAILS INSIDE)” jollied my morning!
As a 20 year Marin resident I was, of course, aware of The Point Reyes Light (awesome under your direction) but only stumbled upon your blog oh, say, roughly five minutes ago.
I look forward to enjoying its archives and new entries as they appear.
Thank you for your kind words about the posting. How in the world did you happen to run across it? After all, I included a photo of the “Free Pre-Paid Cremation” offer two and a half months ago in a posting about saving the Postal Service. — Dave
