Compass launched around this date one year ago. Congratulations to Scott and Jesse!
Their mission: "Our mission is to help inform civic dialogue among local decision-makers and community members about the factors and forces shaping our city and county."
Their pitch: "If you're looking for local news reported with context and depth, and you're tired of being bombarded with pop-up ads on websites owned by out-of-town media companies, Compass is for you!"
