Mark Weiss/Getty Images A Kansas newspaper owner is dead after police raided her and her son's home last week — a move the National Newspaper Association called '"unthinkable." Joan Mayer, 98, was a co-owner of the Marion County Record with her son. Eric Meyer, who is also the publisher of the Marion County Record, told the Kansas Reflector the message was clear after the raid: "Mind your own business or we're going to step on you."
