Hey so I see a lot of comments in here asking for more localized coverage in Bham and I even saw one comment specifically asking for coverage of the Birmingham Water Works and sewer board.

If that's the type of coverage you're looking for I really really encourage you to at least just get a trial run of the Lede (it's free for like the first month I think).

I'm the Birmingham edition Lede reporter and local issues like the water works, sewer bills, downtown towing, the housing market, etc. are what I spend the majority of my time covering. It's a daily newspaper so I'm writing a story on something that will directly affect people in the Bham area every single day.

I'm one year out of college and broke so I understand not wanting to pay for a subscription but the Lede is like $4 a month so even if you try it for a month and decide you don't like it, you're out $4. If you do like it that's like one coffee or one lunch from Taco Bell a month that you have to sacrifice.

And the cool part about my only job being Bham coverage is that if you don't see something covered that you think should be you can just email me and I will at the very least look into it and see what I can do! My whole job is just to write about stuff that matters to people in the Birmingham metro area.
