Will just note that I recently had beers with the writer of the story (Foulds was invited but sick) & we came to the conclusion that we aren't giving up on this sicko job. (And that, like, it's not completely doomed.) (And we were only half-a-beer deep at that point.)

From the filings. Black Press's projected weekly cash flow statement through to March 2024 + company appears to owe $61M and have just $3M in bank. BP is by far the largest employer of local news reporters in BC.

This is a great explanation of what made KTW different 😢

KTW appreciation thread: The 2nd newsroom I ever set foot in was that of Kamloops This Week. I think (???) I was just about to graduate and hadn't yet fluked into my internship so dropped my resume off with Foulds. He was busy, took one look at me and my papers and that was it...

Saw a thing where people where sharing embarrassing work stories and a girl said when she got her first waitress job, someone ordered champagne and she thought it was standard to shake and spray the bottle at everyone like an F1 driver as that's the only reference she had.

Big day in #Kamloops! I'll be at the #MemorialCup all tourney long for @CastanetKam. Can't wait for the 6 p.m. puck drops and media room buffet. Yes, and the hockey. Should be a great 10 days!

A good April Fool’s Day story should make you embarrassed you believed it. Not angry you were lied to

Few things frustrate me more as a journalist than people in comments sections asking questions answered in the first, second, or third sentence. I do not understand.

U.S. local newspapers are dying at a rate of 2 per week. By 2025, a third of them will be gone. If you’re not convinced that’s a doomsday-level threat to democracy, read this state-by-state list of what local reporters uncovered in 2022. It’s a sample of what we stand to lose.
