The Lansing Journal doesn't do a print edition very often, so it feels like a big deal when we do. We want to make sure our YouTube community knows about it.
As Publisher Melanie Jongsma says in this video, many of our YouTube subscribers are not aware of the other news The Lansing Journal publishes — online every day, and in print when we can.
If you live in Lansing, Illinois, you will automatically receive this print edition in the mail. We are sending it to everyone in Lansing.
If you are a Lansing Journal donor and you don't living in Lansing, Melanie will personally mail a copy to you.
If you don't live in Lansing and have not donated yet, Melanie will mail you a copy of the print edition if you email your address to her at mjongsma@thelansingjournal.org

The questionable politics of Thornton Township Supervisors Tiffany Henyard and now Napoleon Harris brought new viewers and subscribers to our channel, and we appreciate their interest in our local politics. But most of the news that happens in Lansing and other parts of Thornton Township is much less dramatic, though just as important. The Lansing Journal serves a diverse community and offers a diverse range of news — stories that are often overlooked by larger media.
