Posted in On the Media with tags , on January 11, 2009 by Billy Dennis

Peoria’s only locally owned newspaper has updated its Website.

Of particular interest to PP readers is reporter Sara Browning’s article on upcoming city council and school board elections. Editor/Publisher Debbie Adlof also has an interesting roundup of news tidbits.

Media: The Community Word is on the air!

Posted in On the Media with tags , on September 13, 2008 by Billy Dennis

My Internet outage delayed posting this month’s issue of the Community Word, but I finally got everything posted.

I think it’s a particularly newsy issue, with lots of election and politics. Sara Browning profiles the 18th District Congressional candidates. Marie Blood reports on planning for a shelter for homeless veterans. Amanda Knowles writes about the national problem of domestic violence.

Roger Monroe offers his conservative Republican perspective on the Peoria County State’s Attorney race and other politics. Bill Knight looks at how well candidates for Congress level with voters about the issues. My column looks at the the referendum and speculates a bit on local races.

All the regular columnists are there too.

The Community Word is the ONLY locally owned newspaper in Peoria. I especially recommend Roger Monroe’s column and Bill Knight’s column. One is conservative; the other liberal. And both of them have ticked me off this month. Monroe questions whether Colleen Callahan qualifies as a journalist because she covers agriculture. Knight says it’s a mistake to even consider the issue of crime when evaluating state’s attorney candidates.
