Very inspiring! Thanks for pointing to this, Maryann. (And of course, well done, Robin!)
Loved this:
Quote:
It has an impact when you have reporters who are watching what is going on; politicians behave better.
I cannot express how deeply grateful I am to everybody for their support and their kind words and certainly for the donations, which were completely unexpected. I hope that they would see fit to support independent nonprofit news in their own locations. And I hope everybody understands that this is why you need to pay attention to what is going on with your local government—it does matter. Ask questions of your elected officials, don’t let them put you off. This is your government. It doesn’t belong to them. You just lent it to them for a minute.
