Sigh, we will all be replaced. This comes from Ross Barringer123. Thanks to Cyril Moutran for sending in the link.
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.

This is too much fun. I mean that quadrocopter costs around $900 complete with stabilized camera. It would be wonderful if the news channels used these in place of the really noisy helo’s they currently use. I know there are a million issues around remote control planes, but this sure looks like fun to me. I wish I had a spare $900 laying around.
