Doughnut mania has hit New York, reports the Gray Lady, who is actually much more of a Gray Man. Any ideas here for Dynamo and others?

Wonderful rats-to-business map by Sean Gorman. Sean, do more or come visit us for a teach-in! I can now see Crowdflower running to the hardware store.

The folks at Uptown found a backlash on Clarion Alley. Tread lightly.

Stay out of the rain, and hope you have heat in your office. lc

I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still here.

As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.

As founder and an editor at ML, I've been trying to figure out how to make my interest in local news sustainable. If Mission Local is a model, the answer might be that you - the readers - reward steady and smart content. As a thank you for that support we work every day to make our content even better.
