Yeah, y'all, it's wonderful that it's able to still stay alive on-line, i was worried about that too! It's still a shame that it's not available to hand-out to people, there's just nothing like putting something in people's hands that they can look at, some hurriedly, some thoroughly, share, leave behind for someone else to pick up, tear portions out of and mail into people, etc., there's just nothing like a newspaper, especially when at large events. Many newspapers/newsletters have had to greatly downsize and or discontinue altogether, the financial burden is so great and getting advertising or other $$$$ support from our communities is like pulling teeth!!
i can definitely feel their struggle and although we never published anything on the magnificent level of the SF Bay View, i know the newspaper becomes like your own child. Since it's such a very vital part of the community, it's up to all of us online to print out and share as much of it offline as possible in order to keep the information flowing!
