The Evening News, for as long as folks around here can remember, doesn’t publish on holidays.
That’s a good thing for employees, who can spend Thanksgiving with their families. But in the days before the Internet, it left readers hanging for 48 hours.
Now, with monroenews.com, we can keep readers informed even when The Evening News is taking a break. A good example was the Detroit Stoker story, which broke Wednesday afternoon, the day before Thanksgiving. It didn’t hit the pages of The Evening News until Friday afternoon.
A few years ago, Monroe area residents would have been eating turkey without knowiing that one of our leadiing employers had been sold.
This year, it was on monroenews.com early Wednesday afternoon.
