Got a report of a charity event at which a celeb appeared, performed free of charge and was the focal point of the advertising. He gets two lines in a 450 word report - the rest is about local things. In the spirit of “Titanic sinks, no locals lost,” I’m going to leave it as it is. #localnewspapers

Stamps Cemetery a labor of love, history The road to Stamps Cemetery winds like a thought you can't quite let go of, narrow, cracked, and shaded by trees that seemed older than the idea of Tennessee itself.

I'm very proud of this piece. It was a bit more personal than I usually write, but this area is dear to me.

Unfortunately, the photography for the newspaper didn't come through nearly as much.

Newspaper clipping >> Car falls off exit ramp A car fell off an Interstate 290 bridge Monday evening onto Wood Dale Road in Wood Dale. No one was seriously injured. "The driver decided to exit the highway where there wasn't an exit," said Capt. Leigh Fabbri of the Addison Fire Department. The crash occurred at 5:45 p.m. "Luckily, there weren't any cars on Wood Dale Road at that moment," Fabbri said. "They didn't hit any cars, and they weren't hit by any other cars." Both sides of Wood Dale Road were closed down for about 20 minutes while officials cleared the area. <<

I saw this while researching #genealogy in old newspapers:
"He decided to exit the highway where there wasn't an exit..." 😂

139 Year Old Newspaper Shut Down Over Mayor’s $1.1M Defamation Lawsuit Win Everett Leader Herald is shutting its doors for good after a bitter defamation legal battle cost the paper $1.1 million over faked reporting about the mayor.

The newspaper closure is another loss for local #journalism. However, the editor's admission of fabricating stories is profoundly troubling and adds to the erosion of public trust in media. #LocalNews #JournalismEthics #LocalNewspapers #CommunityMedia

Keeping three communities informed. Yesterday evening, we simultaneously uploaded artwork to print three hyperlocal newspapers. This morning, c.40,000 copies were delivered to our client for distribution. Guess how many copies are in this pic? #hyperlocalnews #localnewspapers #newspapers

If it wasn't for #LocalNewspapers and @teenvogue.bsky.social we'd have no real reporting right now
