Welcome, and thanks to everyone who has subscribed to or expressed interest in the Rivertowns Current so far. The name was chosen as a nod to classic newspapers, things going on currently, and of course, our beloved Hudson River.
I was a longtime subscriber to the Rivertowns Enterprise and was saddened by its sudden closure. After attending a meeting about the future of local news coverage, I was inspired to start a Substack with a local angle.
This is still an early work in progress. For now, you can subscribe for free (with the option to become a paid subscriber to support this endeavor).
Posting will likely be sporadic for a while as we ramp up.
If you want to help, contribute ideas or stories, or share news tips, please feel free to get in touch at rivertownscurrent@gmail.com.
