California Couple Revives Community Newspaper After Wildfire Closure

A California community newspaper is getting a second chance at life thanks to new owners determined to restore local journalism to their area.

Laura and Tim Schneider recently sat down with NPR’s Scott Simon to discuss their efforts to revive the Palisadian-Post, which ceased operations after Los Angeles wildfires forced its closure.

The husband-and-wife team has taken over the publication and is working to bring it back to serve their community once again. The newspaper had been serving local residents before the devastating fires disrupted operations and led to its shutdown.

During their conversation with Simon, the Schneiders outlined their plans for relaunching the community-focused publication under their stewardship.
