Instant newspaper !
I don’t know how you evolved, but I like the Suburban Times already.
I am constantly searching for credibility in journalism. So far, so good.
In my politically neutral view, the major media outlets have sullied their own reputations beyond salvation ove the last couple of years. This includes some surprises such as (in my opinion) the Economist.
I grew up in a time when Reporters and Print Journalists were expected to report facts. Today, most of what is reported is opinion and reporting as per corporate expectation, which usually is tied to the bottom line ($$$).

Thank you Thomas. In an attempt to be transparent, The Suburban Times is not a typical news website. We don’t have a stable of reporters. All content is produced by members of our coverage area. Think of it like a digital version of a community bulletin board. Members of the community write the flyers that are pinned to the bulletin board. I manage the flow of the content, keep it tidy, and make sure the website stays available. Hope you continue to enjoy The Suburban Times.
