Issue: August 02, 2012

Hi everybody,
This week on the cover of Northern Nevada’s premier newspaper, Special
Projects Editor Ashley Hennefer takes a look at a cultural phenomenon
that’s as old as time itself: Preparing for the end of the world. We
dont expect it to come on the shoulders of the zombie apocalypse, but
what the heck, it made a fun cover. Also on the pages of your favorite
publication, Brad Bynum listens to and rates new records by Buster Blue
and Memory Motel, and Dennis Myers looks at Mitt Romney’s uphill climb to
the White House. As always, while you can click the links below, don’t
forget to pick up a newsprint version of the newspaper for exclusive
columns, cartoons and soy-based ink. Thanks for reading our newspaper, if
not for you, we’d be covering the Olympics.
Love,
Brian
