Last Wednesday, I learned that someone I knew was lost/stranded near Lake Italy. I made a quick post here and almost immediately learned from Skibum that he had been found and all was well. I posted on our local newspaper website that he had been found. Today, the editor of that same newspaper(About 100k+ circulation) mentioned my post in her editorial. Here is the post and the link follows. HST is pretty cool.
Just before 10 a.m. Wednesday, a reader posted a comment on our Web site story about missing Cambrian hiker Charlie Hench, saying that he had been found. No one in our newsroom had heard yet, but a quick call to the Fresno Sheriff’s Department confirmed that it was true. As a result, we were the first media outlet to break the good news — and provide an update to all those who cared about Hench.
