LANSING, Ill. (February 25, 2022) – At least twice this past week people have asked where they can get a printed copy of The Lansing Journal. Those questions are not uncommon because people have fond memories of the print edition we used to publish every month, pre-pandemic. This week’s video provided an opportunity for Josh and Melanie to share some of the factors that influence decisions about if and when to produce a printed newspaper again:
