It’s Important to Understand What Being a “Smart City” Means to Saline, Part 2

April 16, 2018

Why is it important? Part 1 of this special series defined the term “smart cities.” It identified local officials here, by name, who have focused on helping Saline get in front of this concept. It concluded with the bold assertion that “Smart cities are not a question of If? but, rather, When?” [1,2,3] But now it’s important to take a step back and explain the needs served, problems solved. Among others, Washtenaw Community College (WCC) ....

You Should Continue To Send Us Your Press Releases. We Won’t Run Them, But, We Seriously Do Want To Receive Them.

September 3, 2018

From the Editor— When I first started writing for ink-on-newsprint, serious outlets didn’t run press releases. At best, it suggested to readers that they had little interest in objectivity or independent journalism. At worst, advertisers saw it as a sign that the indulging outlet was cutting corners among the ranks of what should be considered its most important, differentiating staffs: Writers and editors. Above all else, independent perspective is why you read a Saline Journal ....
