What were we thinking?!

The Daily Herald's executive editor called Melynda with a proposal: two weekly papers in Glenview and Northbrook, taking over where the recently closed 22nd Century Media papers left off. Risky at best in the current climate of print journalism. Also..... It was May 2020.

Melynda will share the good/bad, easy/challenging, plus what happens when three experienced journalists work together...... (spoiler alert: hilarity ensues)
