NeSmith remembered waking up at 6 a.m.after that phone call,He jumped into his truck and drove to The Echo offices.Upon arriving,he suggested that his friend think of a new solution. "Well,what are we going to do "Maxwell asked him."Are you going to buy the newspaper "NeSmith looked up,searching for an answer,Then,a sudden idea hit him. He would create an organization and Maxwell would donate The Echo to it.After leaving the office,NeSmith called Charles Davis,director of the University of Georgia's Grady College. "I've got an idea,"NeSmith told him."I want to turn The Echo into a real-life experience for students at Grady College who want to be reporters."Davis loved the idea, and he and NeSmith developed a course with The Echo as its foundation.Students could experience a working newsroom which would act as a stepping stone into their careers. Of course,they needed someone to run the newspaper.Then Andy Johnston,who had been teaching at Grady for a month,appeared,"I believe in the project.We've heard about other newspapers closing,especially in rural counties,"Johnston said,"When that happens, it means their only source of news and the only thing that holds people together is closing. Johnston teamed up with Amanda Bright,who taught the course.Bright,a community reporter,helped create new digital platforms for The Echo,including an email newsletter and a website.
