We are getting closer to figuring out how the best frequency and timing for these newsletters direct to your inbox.
The format most of you like is clear: short, direct, and punchy where appropriate.
Today, we start a new site feature, a Community Calendar. It appears in our Community section, which we've detected more and more readers are discovering and enjoying. It includes one event taking place tonight, a virtual webinar presented by the Minority Health Alliance.
We know political coverage is what The Real Deal Press is best known for. So check out these two pieces, from Sunday [including some predictions about the Bibb era] and last Friday's post-election round up that left some people fuming and a lot more buzzing. As a bonus, we have republished two pieces — Black Political Leadership and Civil Rights, Part I and especially Part II — that offer context for today and recall a time that evokes comparison to today's political scene.
Today we published two pieces in our Health section on the deadly rise in opioid deaths in Ohio and across the country.
We are several days into the holiday season, and this ode to pumpkin pie by former Clevelander Wornie Reed will make your mouth water.
Finally, with respect to the critical importance of the holiday season to small businesses, especially MBEs and local retail businesses, we have advanced by a week the December edition of Face the Competition. It contains tips and advice for local business owners on how to compete successfully with online gorillas. It will appear bright and early tomorrow.
As always, we love to hear from you!
[We love it even more when you share our links with your networks.]
Thanks for reading!
R. T. Andrews
