Reporter and new business owner, Jennifer Schuster, has launched a weekly newspaper in Leslie.
Schuster launched The Leslie Weekly Guardian Oct. 22. It’s been two years since someone’s attempted to add a weekly paper to the small community.
“People are really hungry for local news here in Leslie,” Schuster says.
Schuster’s taking an online approach to the publication. She says that if there’s enough support, she’ll consider adding a print version of the pub.
“I have a lot of support,” she says. “A lot of people are sending in story ideas and pictures. I’ve a lot of people spreading the word.”
Shuster is a Leslie native. She graduated from Leslie High School in 1996 and received her journalism degree from Michigan State University (MSU).
“I’ve been thinking about this paper for the last two years,” she says. “It makes a big difference that I live in the town and can run the business from my town.”
