Ever since the Collinsville Herald-Journal went out of business and the Belleville New Democrat pretty much stopped bothering with any news except from wire services, there has been no real way to find out what is going on locally.
But now comes a fairly recent addition to news where we live and that is the Collinsville Daily News. This news source has a website as well as the good use of Facebook. Finally there are news stories for Collinsville and the surrounding area. They even have the obituaries, local sports and civic news. I hope they don't end up going the route the Belleville paper went by insisting on subscribing to read the stories. With the BND it is just not worth it. One the other hand, if the Collinsville Daily News finds they must do this, I may break down and subscribe if they stay local.
