The reaction when I start telling anyone outside of media about a story I'm working on.

“Until 25 years ago, journalism was a relatively profitable business for a lot of folks. And then when Google and Facebook came along with the different ad model and the revenue disappeared kind of overnight” – Neil Chase CalMatters

Seeing how local newspapers covered major events provides important context for how earlier generations understood world events. 80 years ago today, the Allied armies began the liberation of Europe. Want to read your local newspaper coverage? Check out:

If you are in comms and could not attend this amazing panel, you should absolutely listen in, some great nuggets of insight and advice.

Thank you for this Capitol Weekly.

Thanks again Capitol Weekly for facilitating this discussion.

Journalism is struggling right now, and instead of lamenting how things used to be, we need to adapt and move forward.

Grateful for colleagues who are committed to showing up every day and doing the hard work.

No, Legislative/Admin comms staff and I aren't punching each other in the face at the capitol. NONE of this is personal.

We share the goal of informing the public, but it's been tough for journalists to do it in California. Thanks again Capitol Weekly.

The concern I raised at the event: the bias toward conflict in politics and government coverage is a serious problem. It’s context, not conflict, that citizens need to participate in democracy. Having been on the outside of daily news these 23 months, I see it more than ever.

“The number one challenge we have… is there is a bias toward conflict that is paramount in this place... I would argue that context is more important than conflict.” - John Myers

Nice finds at a Land Park estate sale this morning!

Amazing that the state can, at the last minute, kill a regulation it spent years developing because it would be too expensive...and then just refuse to explain that cost estimate calmatters.org/newsletter/cal…
