We did. It was called the Washington City Papet and it used to be staffed with brilliant journalists, many of whom like David Carr went on to have brilliant careers. Somewhere along the way the City Paper immolated itself and it’s not clear why. But they are not doing journalism anymore and it’s sad when you consider what it used to be.

I have a crush on Alan Henney. I call him Daddy Henney.

As someone who’s known Alan for almost 30 years, I can tell you he’d be extremely creeped out by you.

Really? He strikes me as lonely, especially since his mother died.

How exactly have you known Daddy Henney for so many years?

Guess I’m more old school and prefer a source over a sound bite (or click bait)…although I’ll hear or see something that sends me down a trail.

I’m in RVA so my local “bookmarked” websites won’t mean anything but I spend 15-20 minutes each morning checking our three local channels plus a few others of interest like BizSense, Richmond Free Press, and Style Weekly. But I also check City Council/Board of Supervisors agendas and certainly any School Board actions. We still have public school aged kids but I’ll likely still pay attention since more than half our local budget goes to our schools.

Beyond that, I’ll watch c-span, check out regulations.gov, and am fascinated with the SCOTUSblog.

My real find, though, this past Virginia General Assembly session was Cardinal News, a news outlet focusing on Southwest Virginia. But they clearly mark opinion pieces as such and did a nice job covering the happenings in Richmond.

On the weekends, I’ll check out a few National and international sources, some for fun, others for perspective (on how the rest of world views things and “US”).

Twitter is basically the best form of local coverage.

Sadly, the other local outlets, except for maybe Axios, provide very little for local residents.

The Washington Post is pretty garbage for local news and that was even before the staffing cuts. It’s not just the amount of coverage, it’s also the topics. It’s like they just let 30 year old reporters assign their own stories so you end up with things like deep reporting on a lost cat or cheating at a bar trivia night. But then only cursory coverage of things that matter, unless those things are important to these same 30 year old reporters. But I digress.

Best outlets for local news are Axios and Washington Business Journal.

Honestly? Instagram and Twitter.

I just read the post titled' The House just gave control of RFK back to DC.' Where do you read or watch to get current updates like this? How do you know what is on the agenda for the day? How do you stay up to date?
