News does not happen in a newsroom. I look forward to being out and about seeking out the most relevant and timely community news at Fort Bragg and Fayetteville. Truth be told, I prefer the good news stories, but the crime stories always get more engagement. Presenting the news in a multi-media format is a great package for busy readers. Reading the news on your smart phone or iPad, now that's just Patchy.

Local Hot-Button Issues
As in any town the issues affecting the community are constantly ongoing, evolving, and being taken into consideration. As part of the military community I have to say the country options for upcoming deployments looks bleak, high operational tempo cycles, increasing military suicide rates, sequester cuts, families unraveling at the seams and the biggest one right now - PTSD and the care of our wounded warriors.
