We want to build on those models and say, OK, we're going to take the baton and run with it.
We are going to run like hell with that baton.
And we want somebody else to pick that up, too.
So we're like we're all running here and and building news organizations that are that are engaged in covering the news, informing people.
being a source of communication, but are also building community.
And I think that's one of the things I learned about working in newspapers as a young man.
This is back in the 80s.
I worked at weekly newspapers.
The newspaper, these weekly, small daily newspapers in small towns were part of the fabric of that community and held the community together by being like a voice where people could look at that publication and recognize themselves as
and recognize their community.
That's gone.
What we see in a lot of newspapers, the Post Gazette is an example of this.
We have an institution talking to other institutions.
And what happens when that, like worker voices, regular people voices are lost?
One of our goals is to do that here in Pittsburgh, is create a publication that does not do that, where people can look at that publication and recognize themselves and recognize a community that they care about and that they're willing to invest in.
So that's where I see where we're at right now and where we want to go.
