For nearly 75 years, Peanuts has been part of our daily lives. From the pages of daily newspaper pages to (quite literally) the moon, Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy and the gang are worldwide that for many have a deep, personal connection. As the hometown newspaper of Charles Schulz, we'd love to hear your 'Peanuts Love Story' for an upcoming special project. https://lnkd.in/g49tpDUw

Monday means business in The Press Democrat! After months of hard work by the team at Sonoma Media Investments, LLC and the North Bay Business Journal, starting today subscribers to The PD will have access to the North Bay's leading business publication as part of their membership. With three dedicated business reporters, and a fourth coming soon, we’re committed to covering the wine industry, tourism, banking, real estate, health care, agriculture, insurance and other economically relevant topics at a time when other local news organizations are scaling back business reporting or have eliminated it altogether. https://lnkd.in/gJu_fgd4

Many, many thanks to Edward Booth, Bryce Martin and Tarini Mehta for joining me yesterday at the Napa Town & Country Fair to spread word about The Press Democrat’s expansion, now 1-year-old, into Napa County. We’ve tripled our Napa County subscribership during that time, and I can’t wait to see where this team leads us a year from now. Also, be on the lookout for a third reporter to be joining us in Napa before the year is out; we’ve interviewed several talented journalists for that role and continue to source candidates.

Join us for Women in Conversation on Wednesday, September 25, 2024 at the Green Music Center on Sonoma State University's campus. 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. – Mingle, taste, and explore at the Experience on the Lawn! Exhibitors will be scattered on the green to celebrate, inspire, and empower local women from all backgrounds. 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. – This year's featured speaker is Stephanie Izard, award-winning chef, restaurateur, author, and first female to win Top Chef. You will not want to miss Stephanie Izard! Get your tickets at: https://lnkd.in/dmeaMRFR

It's not about the awards. It's about coverage of violence in our schools; it's about providing aid to fire victims; it's about the decimation of poultry; it's about the pain of war 50 years later. It's about representing our communities and amplifying your stories and voices. It's not about the awards, but it is about our commitment to local, community journalism for California's North Bay. Congratulations to the entire team at The Press Democrat and Sonoma Media Investments, LLC Help us spread the news at https://lnkd.in/gs5PXm9h

Thanks to the generosity of the owners, for every $49 bottle purchased, $60 will be donated to the PDJT. This is a limited run, so order yours today!
