About Mono County Weekly

When the pandemic first hit, I found myself unemployed and lookin goer up-to-date public health information that I could not find, so I hurled myself into local COVID-19 reporting a public service. Since first publishing in March, readership has increased tenfold. My reporting has been cited in The New Yorker, republished in High Country News and the Adventure Journal and received more pageviews than the population of the community.
