Mohsin Abbas was lazing about over the holidays, watching TV, when he learned about tiny Tilbury, Ontario, Canada, losing its local newspaper and the huge hole it’s left in the community. The journalist heard about the closure while listening to a CB Radio special on what happens when the local news stops. “I know the importance of local journalism.

Less than a month later, he is the publisher.
