On South Richmond Street, some residents in a block of homes were issued notices to leave, as company landlords wanted to renovate. Then several men went into one home and took the doors away with them. #fromthearchives

Hi everyone, we just finished up our quarterly report for Q2 2021 (a bit late), and wanted to share with you how we are doing, in case you are interested. Also, if you've any questions, ask away. 1/ Image
For those who don't know us, we're an independent, community newspaper covering the Dublin City Council area, with a full-time staff of three, and a circle of regular contributors and freelancers. We're subscriber-supported, and do not take ads. 2/
We want to spend our time making the best journalism we can for our readers and hoping they will subscribe, rather than making sure we please advertisers, and trying to convince them to advertise, and making ads for them, and worrying about conflicts of interest. 3/

Today we thought we'd share a few things about who we are and what we're up to. In case there's anyone out there who's curious. So, here goes:

1. We are about five years old, launched in June 2015 by @LoKapila (with some help from @samtranum and others).
2. We are independently owned by @LoKapila, who ran the paper day-to-day as managing director, managing editor, head envelope-stuffer, etc until going on maternity leave this spring. Now @stephcostell0 is running the show.
3. We operate as a workers' co-op, with staff members meeting quarterly (most recently, yesterday) to discuss and manage the company's finances, make decisions on editorial policy, and the like.
