Have you read the Lede lately?

Our daily dive into the news of the day, curated by our team of reporters, editors and producers has grown quite robust since it started in 2022. Especially since we ended print newspaper publication, every day we focus on giving you 60-80 pages of great news (including crime, business, politics, etc.) content from local reporters from the Lede, AL.com (including sports) and selected stories from the Associated Press, Alabama Daily News, Alabama Reflector, the Conversation, and other sources around the nation and the world.

Not to mention – although I’m going to – a huge section of obits, comics, puzzles, and a strong selection of commentary by our local Pulitzer Prize winners and others worth reading.

We have some of the best journalists in the country backing our daily efforts, and our team of Alabama-based journalists is getting bigger all the time. You wanted more news? You got it.

I encourage you to check out the Mobile Lede and subscribe.

In the meantime, here is one of the stories we did in the past week in Mobile:

The Lede’s Margaret Kates reported on a $10 million incentive package the city of Mobile approved for a new Airbus facility with high hopes of jobs for city residents.

This week in the Lede, look for another story about Mobile’s national rankings and what some officials have to say about them.

You’ll probably notice that with the Lede being a subscription product, even when you look at our stories posted on AL.com, there’s a reminder that to read whole stories and get the Lede daily, you will need to subscribe. And when you do, you’ll be able to read the Lede on your desktop, tablet or phone. You can even download apps for your phone, whether you use Apple, or Android.

BTW – every since issue of the Lede has a page designed to tell you how to navigate the Lede. It even has a cool YouTube video.

The Lede is a work in progress, and we’re making it better every day. We don’t just want you to subscribe – which we do – we also want to hear from you. Suggestions? Constructive criticism? Stories you’d like to see? Questions about your community? Something for us to look into that will make your life better? Send me a note at [email protected].

Meanwhile, thanks for reading.
