The Overlook, a new nonprofit newspaper, describes itself as “community journalism serving Hunter, Hurley, Olive, Saugerties, Shandaken and Woodstock.”
At a time when newspapers in America are disappearing at a rate of about 2.5 per week, The Overlook is attempting to buck that trend with community coverage and investigative reporting, served up weekly, in a free subscription model.
In the latest episode of Kaatscast: The Catskills Podcast, host Brett Barry speaks with its inaugural Editor-in-chief, Noah Eckstein, who’s taking the lead in shaping a promising new publication in a part of the Catskills where news coverage is sparse.
