I’ve made the decision to leave the Community Alliance newspaper after five years as editor. I’ve been putting off this decision for several months, but the time has come to dedicate time to myself—that is, to my health and to organizing personal and family matters. It hasn’t been easy.
This has been an intense, creative and at times fun experience. I’m grateful to the newspaper’s team, which, as many know, works almost entirely on a volunteer basis. It’s not easy to produce a monthly newspaper with such limited resources. And yet, it maintains the energy and vigor that its audience recognizes and respects. The Community Alliance maintains its original mission after almost 30 years.
Maintaining this mission in every article, while improving the quality of the stories and the images that accompany them, is no easy task.
The Community Alliance is a newspaper, but it’s also a philosophy of life captured in pages and ink that our Valley needs, especially at a time when the corporate media is being subservient to the will of the White House.
That’s why supporting this effort is more important than ever.
I’m proud to have been a part of this effort, of this mission, which is a collective and liberating act.
I wish the best for the newspaper and the team that makes it a reality every month. And for our community, of which I have been a part for more than 30 years and to which I contribute every day.
Thank you all.
