They&#8217;ll parrot press releases from anybody&#8211;except for one person. So far, no Duluth media outlet has managed to parrot mine. Oh well. They&#8217;ll be crying when the Monitor&#8217;s kicking their butts around the block. T minus thirteen days to launch.<\/p>\n<p>PRESS RELEASE&#8211;Launch of the Duluth Monitor<\/p>\n<p>The Duluth Monitor, an online news publication, will launch on June 19, 2019. <\/p>\n<p>John Ramos, publisher of the Monitor, says, &#8220;Duluth is badly in need of quality journalism. Over the last couple of decades, the news business in the city has been greatly diminished. The newspapers don&#8217;t have enough reporters left to cover basic governmental meetings, let alone undertake serious investigations. The TV stations offer great weather forecasts and bantering on-air personalities, but little else. We sense that people in Duluth and the surrounding region are hungry for meaningful news. We intend to supply that demand.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ramos is also the Monitor&#8217;s lead investigative reporter. He promises a big story for the launch.<\/p>\n<p>Contact information:<\/p>\n<p>John Ramos<br \/>\n218-391-8791<br \/>\nramosjohn100@gmail.com<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/duluthmonitor.com\/\">duluthmonitor.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; By the Duluth News Tribune Because press releases fill up space and require no actual work on the part of reporters, Duluth media&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27486"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27486\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27488,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27486\/revisions\/27488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
