As Editor and Publisher of Messenger Post Newspapers, George M. Ewing strongly believed that the newspaper should not only record the local events of the day, but also serve as a window to the world beyond Ontario County. In his mind, this small community is inextricably affected by regional, national and world events.

Over the years he and his wife, Marie-Merrill, traveled the globe, then shared with readers their observations, photographs and interviews with many of the world’s key decision makers. These features discussed the economic, social, cultural and political forces in play in these locales, and their potential impact here at home.
