Good night and good luck — the final editorial of the Clayton Crescent ( claytoncrescent.org )

For three years and four months, I have singlehandedly provided high-quality, professional news coverage to, for, and about this community. This began out of necessity because I knew no one else would do it if I didn’t. When I was laid off from the Clayton News during COVID-19, I immediately went into my home office, found a very temporary web template, and started The Clayton Crescent. I used my unemployment check to fund the website and cranked out the site on a cheap Chrome notebook I’d bought with my own money in anticipation of continued layoffs.

[…]Ultimately, despite the best intentions, too few people in this community were willing or able to support nonprofit news in Clayton County.
