Talking about The Journal & Press on the radio

And a look at the latest Salem Press

Radio, radio!

We’re currently in travels and will resume our election coverage upon return, creating a voter’s guide of sorts. Though we are under no delusion that people use newspapers anymore to make their election choices. Not our fault, that’s just the way things have gone in our society. So maybe it’s the media’s fault in general, especially if you include social media as media. In any case, the coverage is useful in creating a record.

Now join us for an audio journey, as here is a conversation publisher Darren Johnson had with occasional Journal & Press writer and former student of Johnson’s Samantha Simmons (who now is a correspondent with WAMC) at the MCLA radio station Johnson advises, WJJW 91.1 FM, recorded Oct. 28.

The audio is not edited or introduced. It’s just Simmons and Johnson talking about The Greenwich Journal and the new Salem Press and then student radio in general.

Simmons will do an edited, professional piece on WAMC. Listen for it.

And here’s the latest Salem Press, so you know what we’re talking about:
