Does anyone on have experience writing opinion pieces for local news papers? The admin team is about to attempt a draft explaining SFBA and the fediverse to a local paper audience. Ideally, in a way it could be customized to each area of the bay! I’d love to invite our neighbors to join us here 🎉

Also, I’d love to hear about your local paper so I can include them 📰 I would be super excited if you want to write it for your paper too! I’d greatly prefer to have a recommendation come from someone in the community than one of the admin team for the website 😅

Cc @MLNow @bside. We’d be grateful for the opportunity to work with you to get something published.

@cd24 I was an editor for years. Have ghosted some op-eds, written a kqed perspectives piece. Happy to help; just reach out.

@cd24 My local paper is the Half Moon Bay Review: hmbreview.com/

I have zero experience writing opinion pieces but I was the editor of a now-gone local magazine for many years.

I'd be happy to be involved in this effort.

@jeridansky that sounds like excellent and relevant experience to me! We’d be delighted to have your help!
