Happy December, it's been a while.
This will be brief.
As many here know, I'm on the Board of our hyperlocal news source, NancyOnNorwalk. Our co-founder and anchor for over a decade, Nancy, passed last month after a courageous battle with cancer. After an extensive search, with the passionate soul of our namesake deeply in mind, we hired a new Managing Editor: Ashley RK Smith. Ashley will be driving our operations and our voice going forward, with a diverse Board supporting her as she gets acclimated. She has promised to "to ask bold questions, provide clear and thoughtful answers, and remain a vital source of information for everyone in our community."
In many ways I view this as a startup opportunity for NoN, and a real chance at both holding close what Nancy embodied (and built), while adapting our voice for a wider population, expanded viewpoints, and an ever-changing community. I don't know where this voice will land yet, but am excited at the chance to be a small part of its new path forward.
That said, this month is really critical: not only for our new direction, but our fundraising. NewsMatch is our annual drive that runs through Dec 31. A donation now is doubled, so acting now is critical.
If you're new to NoN, or haven't donated in a while for whatever reason... please consider jumping in. We're ready for you. And I personally thank you.
