After 40 years of working on the road, I secured a job three hours away from my children and grandchildren. This is a significant phase in my life. ARCO Murray in Downers Grove, IL, will be greatly missed. I have many positive things to say about this company. They treated me like a family member and did not micromanage their Superintendents, unlike many companies today. While not all companies are like this, many smaller companies tend to hire Directors of Field Operations with little practical experience, who often arrive on-site expecting to find mistakes. This is one of the reasons I speak so highly of ARCO Murray. Their executives call ahead before visiting a site to ensure availability. Few companies operate this way anymore, and if you find one, it is advisable to stay. Over the past 40 years, I have witnessed significant changes in the industry, some positive but many negative. My advice to younger Superintendents is to thoroughly evaluate a company, just as they evaluate you. If a company has a high turnover rate, it is best to avoid it, as you may come to regret it.

Interesting work on making local journalism work and interesting comments from Martin Loat OBE about the balance between championing a town or area and scrutinizing what goes on there. I think you can do both. To take a slight change of tack from Owen Wyatt’s excellent video a local outlet might choose to aim a reporter at more business stories rather than court stories. Your coverage changes and starts from a position of covering successes or failures, good or bad. A court reporter is largely only going to turn out ‘bad’ news on whichever scally did something unpleasant that week. Like every outlet ever it’s about decisions made in the morning editorial. It’s easy to send to court because someone’s up for a mugging, and always depends on your traffic but sending to other stories takes a real editorial conviction. A front page or social vid on someone who’s winning in a town might also just stand a chance of bringing back news avoiders. Plus - you’ve always got the option to send your reporter to court if there’s a big case. I did this while co-leading a local news project for Sky years ago. Won a great audience but Sky pulled the plug anyway🤷♂️
