What does the venerable granddaddy of Sioux Falls journalism and your buddy’s indie band have in common? They’ve both set up on GoFundMe accounts to make ends meet!
Ok, this is unofficial. The Argus isn’t asking directly for your free money, but the staff is…after finding out they’d be “furloughed” over the Xmas holiday.
While we still shill out for digital subscription to keep up on stuff around town (it’s our duty, and reddit can only do you for so much) we’ve been watching sadly as more and more reporters bolt from El Argus for the private sector or to go-it-alone.
We’re guessing this kinda thing is the reason why. Merry Christmas, indeed!
