With Thursday’s visits to the Deming Headlight and Silver City Sun-News, I have visited the newsrooms of every Digital First Media daily newspaper.
With some weeklies, a magazine and visits to four newsrooms that moved between visits and our national Thunderdome newsroom, I’ve visited 84 DFM newsrooms altogether.
I started trying to write some observations about the various newsrooms, but I guess much of that is what I’ve been blogging about here. So I’ll just observe this personal milestone. If I’ve missed a daily newsroom, please let me know. I still have some non-dailies I haven’t visited (though everyone is daily — even hourly — in Digital First). I look forward to reaching those newsrooms eventually.
These are the newsrooms I’ve visited:
Steve, thanks for your work as a road warrior. As a host of several of your visits here in York, I appreciate the thinking and practices you’ve added to our newsroom. If my math is correct, you’ve made 84 DFM newsrooms better (so far)!

Thanks for the kind words, Jim! I hope to be back in York again soon.
