What else should people know about your site:
This is a labor of love. I was born to be a reporter and since I'm a naturally high-energy person, online news is like candy to me.
But I need to find a way to earn more money so I can expand. People need my paper. I print a few times a year as well. No one near me is doing what I am doing. There are blogs - there is AOL Patch - but none of it is true local news.
What happens if we lose the ability to provide news coverage and lose our democratic rights? This keeps me up at night. I could surely use some help.
But no matter what - I plan to keep this paper running every single day.
It's my important role in community service.
What are your suggestions and/or links to other community news sites that should be added to the directory?
Everyone should have Domestic Violence and Non-Profits listings for their papers.
I also LOVE doing short videos about local events, and capturing history.
