On October 15, we launched Freshet News online, a single title covering all of our communities. It's named for the annual spring runoff from the northern snows that wash down the Fraser River past our cities. It symbolizes renewal, a fresh start.
Two months later, we revived a print edition. We're monthly for now, but we plan to increase to twice a month in April, with our ultimate goal to return to weekly publication.
We're four journalists who never had to give much thought to the business side of our craft, the ads that ran between our stories and the distribution network that got those stories to readers.
