When I started at @OWHnews in 2022, there were 20 full-time news reporters — already a small crew to cover a metro area of ~1 million people

Now there are just eight full-time reporters left. No one to cover city government, courts, business, environment, military.

So sorry, Steve. Your dedication and experience will be missed.

I was laid off today after 11+ yrs at the Omaha World-Herald & 42 yrs as a reporter. No regrets, but I'll miss my great colleagues!

Missouri passed an initiative in 2016 to limit campaign donations, but it didn’t take long for crafty consultants to find ways around contribution limits, forging a trail to unlimited giving... #moleg #mogov #Election2024
