A Wide Open News Market

Now here's an idea for all you frustrated writers out there: Head to Del Norte County!

There doesn't seem to be much of a news presence up there. This might good be a golden opportunity for a lucky, hard working, aspiring reporter.

Heck, you could start out with a news web page like Charles Douglas and the now defunct Humboldt Sentinel. I realize that one went down the tubes when Charles pooped out on that one, but it had potential. Besides, he had any number of local media to contend with.

Keep in mind the Eureka Reporter started out as online only. Look at it today.

How about it, Nick? What about all those anons out there with nothing but complaints in regards our local papers: Want to show us how its done?

First one to get up there has the advantage over everyone else.

And it only had one multi-millionaire to back it up!

Yeah Fred,
If we were all millionaires we could do so much more with our life. What a waste

What...no faith in human initiative and drive. I'd say you could probably start up something there for next to nothing. Not much to lose. Not sure how much there really is to gain, though.
