Late night rambelings

I have spent the last few days fighting the flu for the year. It seemed to make its first strike on Tuesday which was problematic. See my Tuesdays are now spent laying out three newspapers. I of course have help along the way, but the point was in the midst of a late winter snow blast and an attempt to redact two pages out of each paper I was fighting to stay contentious.

I can’t thank my team enough for the hard work they’re doing. Newspapers often come under fire for missing something or an error here and there. Trust me folks, this is not easy work and the people who do the work care deeply about what they are doing.

The industry is facing some difficult times. For those who think we’re blind to this fact, trust me – we know we need to change. There are constant conversations going on behind the doors of newspaper offices around the world. I’m trying to take a proactive approach and I plan to work on looking at possible avenues for the three papers I work on.

There are no simple answers here, but there is one undeniable truth. Local news comes from your local newspapers. While radio and television do a fine job delivering small chuncks, it is ultimately up to the newspapers to produce in depth and well thought out coverage of the events that affect you directly. I encourage you to continue supporting your local newspapers while we move into this transition period. It’s going to happen faster than some people want, but it is going to happen.

I’ll post some of my views on how this is going to shake out from time to time. For now, go pick up your towns paper and give it a read. You might learn something you didn’t find online.
