A New Newspaper Gig

I got an intriguing offer recently, to write columns for The Westerly Sun, an invitation from its new executive editor, Alex Nunes, who has promised readers a more vigorous local news report from their hometown newspaper ….

So begins my new newspaper column-writing gig. You can read the whole column on the Sun’s site, or in print of course. I also got a very kind introduction in today’s edition.

It’s interesting to note there is still some newspaper competition here in southern New England, in this unfolding local news drought. I’m happy to be a small part of it.

I’m also glad to be using up some newsprint and ink again, but I’ll keep posting new columns here, too, on Substack. Subscribe for free if you like.

I’ll post links to ones that appear in the Sun.

Cheers and stay warm.
