To JOLT:
Serious question: (two actually)
1 - Why is there no coverage of the demonstration regarding the murder of George Floyd and racial inequality?
2- Why are there no people of color on the staff, or board?
And a serious suggestion: Write an editorial!
I'm writing because I'm serious about ACTUAL local news that means something to the people in this area...not just a conglomerate that recycles click bait!

Hi Andryea:
Thanks for writing to us.
Responding to your specific questions, first:
This is our second week of operation. We’re operating with a full-time staff of one person and negotiating to hire a full-time Managing Editor, then part-time reporters. And we’re seeking thoughtful contributions from community members.
Editorials? They’re planned. (If there are two sides to an issue, we plan to present both, or more, at the same moment.) Profiles, features, events, reviews, too. Just not last week or, probably, this week. Soon.
Perhaps you’d like to write something? If so, please write to me again, or call me on 360-357-1000.
~ Danny Stusser, Publisher
