I realized lately that I might not actually be doing LinkedIn correctly, so here's an attempt to use my deeply limited sphere of influence for some actual good, based on my understanding of the argot of the space: Hey LinkedIn fam! 👋💼 Let's talk about a game-changer in our communities - 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺! 🗞🔍 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝘀𝗸? 🤔 It's simple - they are the 𝗘𝘆𝗲𝘀 👀, 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘀 👂, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗩𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 👊 of our local communities! 🏙️ They tirelessly work to bring us the stories that matter most - the businesses, the events, and the heroes in our backyard! 🌟 Supporting local journalism isn't just a trend, it's an 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁! 💪 It empowers us to stay informed, make better decisions, and ultimately, strengthen our communities! 🤝 So let's take a moment today to salute our local journalists 🎩📰 - the unsung heroes who work tirelessly to keep us connected and informed! It's rough out there when incompetent companies are attacking the very nature of the business (I can attest to this personally 😮💨). Shout out to groups like Arizona Luminaria, Tucson Agenda, Arizona Agenda, Arizona Public Media and TucsonSentinel.com for putting up the good fight, continuing to make people in power uncomfortable. 🌐📡 Remember, every click, like, subscription and share counts!
