As the year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to thank all our readers, donors and subscribers for supporting our mission of providing local journalism that matters. Reflecting on the past six months, I’m amazed at what we’ve accomplished in such a short time. Since June 3, when the TFP board hired me as the editor-in-chief, we’ve been busy moving into our office above the Blarney Irish Pub at 605 Monroe St. (a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated desks, chairs, tables, and even a fridge). We’ve hired staff, freelancers, and interns; built a website; secured funding to help keep us operational; and worked to spread the word that we’re up and running as a nonprofit, online-only local newsroom.
