We keep an eye out for the most interesting stories about Labby subjects: digital media, startups, the web, journalism, strategy, and more. Here’s some of what we’ve seen lately.
The Free Press, Camden Herald, The Republican Journal and The Courier-Gazette are merging to create what they say will be “a single, stronger newsroom” which will be “positioned and better resourced to continue to cover the complex issues that affect the region in the decades to come.” Among other things, they’re planning on opening a cafe called the Villager Cafe next year, which — alongside breakfast, lunch, and coffee — will serve as a “community center that hosts events related to local journalism, brings people together to talk about complex issues, and showcases local talent with concerts, readings, discussions and more.” —LO
