I can understand this inclination to write letters. I met my husband at a party I did not want to go to. Two weeks later, he sent me a letter inviting me out on a night hike. The invitation started a mad letter-writing back and forth across the Bay that ended years later in a marriage. So, beware of what you start.
Men who write letters move slowly, but surely.

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.

James Tucker you are correct – there is a range of options. And thanks for having the courage to display a name – real trolls tend to use fake names because they can’t really stand behind their posts 🙂

You’re mistaken. #FirstWorldHobbies are middle aged folks hiding behind their iPhone 6 while sipping that $6 latte and posting irrelevant information on the internet. Try communicating with a real human, may be good for your lost soul.
