Cleveland Magazine recently called KSUP one of “the region’s most committed champions,” saying we’re “grounded in the belief that Northeast Ohio has stories worth telling, and audiences eager to read them.” Spend some of your summer getting to know our writerly Rust Belt authors.

Today we remember.

On May 4, 1970, four Kent State students were killed and nine were wounded during an anti-war protest on this campus. This year, we also honor two community members who carried this history with them until the end. https://t.co/8JXSva71Kk

Am duly humbled that this is part of the very last day of the Insight/Oped section of the Post-Gazette. Yes, the PG continues, but the Insight section as it exists is no more.

Congrats to @chrisbriem, whose book “Beyond Steel” (new from KSUP) is excerpted as the lead story in today’s Insight section of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The piece appears as part of the final issue under the paper’s current ownership, which began in 1927.
