Journalism Stuff

Just something for news junkies. A somewhat interesting American Journalism Review article about Community Newspaper Holdings Inc.'s and how they free up reporters to do in-depth series.

I haven't seen any of these series in the locals(CNHI owns the Daily News,) but perhaps I missed something.

Of course, I'm not quite sure how much I'd read about America's crumbling highways, so maybe I haven't missed a thing.

The vote was closer than I thought. I still don't get why folks would be opposed except for those losing parking places in front of their house. But I think Mary Eaton makes a nice case for why bike lanes and other calming measures are necessary.

The Secret Plan?

Nope, just a late April Fool's day joke. This actual structure can be found in Columbus, Ohio. But I do think something of this ilk--albeit a tad smaller--would look fine along our river. It would really connect the waterfront to the downtown.

But we've been here before.

Been a bit busy lately, so something had to give. I'll pick up the posting. Meanwhile, there's not shortage of Newburyport-oriented blogs to choose from along the right column.
