New free paper

Supposedly journalism is all migrating online. One of our favorite bloggers, Richard Andrews of the Real Deal blog,

has taken the leap into print with his new free monthly paper, The County Reporter, which is covering mostly local politics, just like his blog It debuted with the July issue which hit the streets about two weeks ago; he says the August issue should be out any day. The delayed street dates are typical growing pains for free newspapers. Let's hope he can keep this enterprise going because it's nice to have alternative voices to our beloved Plain Dealer.

Look for it around town. A colleague of mine picked it up at a coffee shop. Richard, if you have a list of drop points, feel free to post them here.
