Alternative sources for news

posted in Local Groups |

I subscribe to the “News from the Lowell Cultural Roundtable” – an email list filled with all kinds of cultural and civic events. It’s a great way to stay connected with what’s going on in the city, which is helpful since I dropped my newspaper subscription recently.  The volunteer coordinator of the Cultural Roundtable, John Greenwald, includes a “Consider this” quote in every message, always pithy, frequently amusing; here’s the one from yesterday:

The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors. –Thomas Jefferson

If you would like to subscribe, just email johnedit@comcast.net. Be forewarned, emails can be more frequent than once a day, but always with descriptive subject lines so you know right away whether to delete or read on.

    Just curious why you cancelled your Sun subscription. I have thought about doing that too but was afraid I would miss out on things. Are you finding that to be the case with you?

    Hmmm, good question. I love the fact that we have a local paper, which is not something that every small city can boast of; still there comes a time when it ’s just not worth it. For me, that time keeps coming up. This is the second time this year that I have dropped the paper. yes, I might miss out on some things, but I am developing alternate news sources….I’m still not sure if I am getting the local news I need, but I know I am able to pass on the “news” I don’t need. We’ll see how it goes, I guess…
