From the Editor:

Quality, broadly distributed local news that strives for accuracy is critical, and often missing in the current national landscape. More than half of the country’s 3,143 counties either do not have a local news source or have only a single outlet. As a Shelby County native, I want us to maintain quality, niche news options, therefore, the daily Addison Times – which includes local government and school news, obituaries, This Day in Shelby County History and more – is free. The Addison Times is reader-supported.
