A.M. Briefing

3 Things To Know Today
  1. Andover is accepting applications for the Fall leadership academy (more info).
  2. Andover News turns one on Sunday! Help us celebrate by taking 15% off one-year and family plan subscriptions. No code needed, offer expires June 30.
  3. I'll be speaking the past, present and future of local news at the Robb Center on June 27 at 1:30 p.m. More than 2,500 local newspapers in the U.S. have closed since 2005, and the closures are continuing at a rate of about two per week. Corporate owners have gutted newsroom staffs at the surviving papers. I'll be talking about what this means for the communities like ours and independent efforts like Andover News to fill the void.
Weather
Cloudy this morning, thunderstorms developing later today and continuing into the evening. Chance of rain 70%. High of 71, low of 57.
