*Editors note: We talk a lot today about how losing jobs has hollowed out the Heartland, and this is true. But small towns across America have lost more than just manufacturing jobs. They've lost coverage of their municipal governments, lost touch with local kids playing sports, and most importantly, they've lost a common connection to their neighbors.* 

*citizen journal is trying to reinvent the newspaper for the digital era. We will be publishing this newsletter, the Hutchinson Brief, 3 days per week at first (MWF), with the goal of daily in the future. We're going to add more news, more sports, obituaries, job postings, and more. We're going to sell ads to support it - if you're a local business who wants to reach a local audience, please consider advertising. We regularly receive 4k views per issue of our biweekly news summary and offer an email newsletter option that goes right to your inbox, please sign up! In addition, we have over 3k users across KS on our iOS and Android app. We won’t always get everything right, so let us know when we miss the mark. I'm not from Hutchinson, I'm from up K-61 in McPherson, but this is your newspaper and we want it to become as distinctive as Hutchinson itself. -Greg*
