Brew's Cafe- Episode 102 Gavin Menu

If print is dead, apparently Gavin Menu didn't get the death notice. Gavin is a newspaper guy. And he has no intention to change. As the owner, with his wife Kathryn Menu, of the Southampton Press, East Hampton Press, and the Sag Harbor Express, Gavin believes in the power of printed news. As much into modern media as I am, I gotta admit, there's still something special about picking up a paper, especially a local one, and reading all about it. It's more than news, information and opinion. It's connection. Connection is what makes community, and if there's anything that Gavin believes in more than local print media, it's community, this one in particular. We have issues, no doubt,  some may even seem insurmountable. But we also have an involved and well informed community. That community has opinions and viewpoints about these issues and are not afraid to voice them. It's Gavin's job to give them the information to do it responsibly. Now, lest you think he's a complete dinosaur, take comfort knowing that they also own 27East.com, the go to website for local news and information. Gavin and I have a wonderful conversation, chatting about local issues, the value of an involved community, and the importance of kids playing sports. Check it out. It's a fun one.
