November 5, 2017 Dell Deaton

Welcome to the Pre-Launch of Saline Journal Online Metro Magazine

March 5, 2018
From the Editor— Although I’ve been providing local news content through a variety of outlets since 1984, my work here with Saline Journal is new, and “officially” launches on Monday April 2, 2018. [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] Saline Journal fills what we believe is a void in coverage of the businesses and attractions where Saline Michigan is positioned at center. In addition to reporting, our aim is to provide additional perspective where it appears to be relevant. A ....

These are among a broader category of “soft targets.” [4,5] In leading this presentation titled ....
