From Print to Inbox: What the Current Weekly Means for Geneseo

It’s no secret—print publishing isn’t what it used to be. The days of grabbing a local paper with your morning coffee are quietly slipping into the past. Rising costs, shrinking ad budgets, and the pace of digital life have all played a part in the changing landscape of local news.

But that doesn’t mean local stories matter any less. In fact, we believe they matter more than ever.

That’s why we’re launching The Current Weekly, a new digital email publication designed to bring you the heart of Geneseo—straight to your inbox, every Friday.

Why the Shift?

We’ve loved bringing you The Current Scene in print, and we believe in the power of a good feature story or a well-placed community spotlight. But like many small publishers, we’ve faced the reality that print alone just isn’t sustainable in today’s world.

People are reading differently now. They want timely updates, quick access, and content that’s easy to digest between school drop-offs and soccer games. And honestly, we get it.

What You Can Expect

The Current Weekly will be more than just a newsletter—it’s a curated mix of what makes this town tick:

  • 🗞️ Top local news stories

  • 🏈 Sports scores and game-day highlights

  • 📅 A rundown of upcoming events

  • 💬 Spotlights on local businesses, nonprofits, and the people making a difference

  • 📸 Photos, polls, promotions, and more

Each edition is bite-sized, easy to read, and 100% free to subscribe.

What We Hope to Bring to the Table

At its core, The Current Weekly is about connection. We want to create a space where readers feel informed, inspired, and plugged into their community. We also want to support the small businesses that keep Geneseo vibrant, with advertising that doesn’t get skipped over—but gets seen, shared, and remembered.

This isn’t just an additional format. It’s a new chapter. A more nimble, accessible, and modern way to share the stories that matter—without losing that local charm we all love.

We can’t wait to hit send.

Sign up, spread the word, and stay tuned for the first issue of The Current Weekly—arriving in inboxes on May 2.
