Anderson is the community located directly south of Redding. Their newspaper, The Anderson Valley Post, recently shut down after a 132 year run. Times are tough for newspapers.
A former reporter has begun an online news site in hopes of replacing the south Shasta County community-centric Valley Post.
Every town needs a newspaper. Or its online functional equivalent. A lot of people get their news through social media lately, and that has created some unintended consequences. A newspaper with journalistic standards (or its online functional equivalent) can unite and inform in a way that is truly healthy for democracy. And unhealthy to be without.
Our best wishes for success go to The Anderson Standard. Carry on.
