For the well off. When I was younger I subscribed to four papers. It was expensive then - a young person not making rock star money but it was doable.

in print #journalism over #television journalism. Especially the longer, heavy lifting, serial pieces.

and I made a few friends in the print world. I would give anything I had to my friends in the print world because they had the ability to shine the light 💡

That’s what our communities deserve. #Jourmalists will best call out our public officials and the powerful who fund them. The journalists - many of whom have already lived through a #pandemic of sorts.
