The Bucks County Progressive Is Moving!
An update about an exciting new media project in Bucks County – The Bucks County Beacon – which is where you will find me moving forward.
I apologize for the short pause with the newsletter. Last month I was named editor-in-chief of the Bucks County Beacon, and I have been extremely busy helping it grow.
Please sign up for the Beacon’s newsletter HERE.
This will be the new platform I will be using to continue to keep you updated about what’s happening in Bucks County and beyond. Starting next Friday I will be writing the Beacon’s newsletter where I will update you about what’s happening in the place that the New York Times, CNN, The Hill, and other national media outlets can’t keep their eyes off of. I’ll also point you to important statewide and national stories that should be on your radar.
In the meantime, here are some of the stories the Bucks County Beacon has been publishing.
