Tell the news.

It's nice to link to an article, or do more in depth analysis, but I really appreciate it when people who I trust and who are knowledgeable (especially in areas I know less about) summarize news and events.

Even if it's very local stuff. Especially the local stuff.

Big newsrooms are dying. The editor of the paper or producer of a "news hour" used to do this job, and it a powerful job with tremendous responsibility.

Social media is taking the place of editorial control.
