We are a different community than we were just weeks ago. We’ve all had to make radical adjustments to our lives, livelihoods and priorities.
We’re feeling it, too, in our newsroom. Stories and issues that once dominated headlines, now pale in comparison to the COVID-19 crisis.

Here’s something that we haven’t talked much about: With many local businesses shuttered, we have lost a critical portion of our advertising revenue.
