The Monroe Gazette Is Dead

The (new) Monroe Gazette is a newsletter (which you’re reading) that borrowed its name from the original, which was a newspaper published in Monroe, New York, from 1908 to 1982.

The new newsletter is written and edited by B.J. Mendelson, a journalist, and author of such books as Social Media Is Bullshit from St. Martin’s Press, Privacy: And How We Get It Back from Curious Reads — which became The End of Privacy on Audible — and a new book currently in development. BJ has also ghostwritten two books, one of which became a best-seller in its category on Amazon.

B.J. can be reached at BJMendelson@Duck.com. You can send stories and news tips anonymously using Signal by sending them to 646-331-8341. If you’re unfamiliar with Signal, here’s how to get it. It’s free.

You can also use our anonymous PO BOX. All you need to do is mail a letter without a return address to PO BOX 452, 88 St. Rt. 17M, Harriman, New York, 10926.
