'What Happened Now?' Newsletter

By JOE DONATELLI

You want to stay informed about what's happening in Northeast Ohio, but life happens, and it's hard to stay on top of it all. Or maybe you've just grown bored with the same-old same-old. Does that sound like you?

"What Happened Now?" is a newsletter written by someone who shares local news like one friend talking to another. It's not just headlines — it's humor, mixed with empathy, mixed with disbelief that our leaders still don't get it, mixed with admiration for anyone making Northeast Ohio into A Better Land. The stories are from News 5, plus our media partners and other local publications, and they range from the big story of the day, to the ridiculous, to the tales of heartache and triumph that bring us together as a community.

Real feedback from actual readers:

• "I can't tell you how much I love the newsletter (or apparently I can, because I just did). It's often the best thing I read on any given day. Really appreciate the time and effort you put into it."
• "With the newsletter being sent daily, I thought it might start to get lost in the usual barrage of spam emails and such, but I really look forward to it and enjoy reading it."
• "This is a fantastic service you're providing. Interesting, timely and mostly local."
• "Thanks for this newsletter. It makes me smile!"
• "Read you all the time. With a million things competing for my eyeballs, you are a can't-miss. Great stuff!"
• "It’s such a unique and genuine/personalized way to deliver updates in a world that often feels oversaturated with bad news these days. Nice work!"
