How each issue is made

  1. Gathered from local sources

    Through the week, our software reads local sources: city and county sites, public media, local papers and venue calendars.

  2. Checked by an editor

    An editor reads every issue and approves it before it goes out. An item without a source doesn't make it in.

  3. Sent Thursday morning

    It arrives as one email: a short summary of each item, with a link to where the story was published.
