I was blown away reading this new research from the site Muckrack.com, which finds a rapid decline in the number of local journalists per resident across the United States. I knew the situation wasn't great with more news sites relying on AI-based news gathering for more content, but this drop is way more precipitous than I thought:

"Using data that’s never been tapped before, we now know just how severe this local journalist shortage has become. Less than a quarter-century ago, the United States had about 40 journalists per 100,000 residents on average. Now, the equivalent number is 8.2 Local Journalist Equivalents, about a 75% decline. (Local Journalist Equivalent is a new measure we’re introducing, akin to a Full Time Equivalent or FTE).

A Business Owner's Guide to Secretarial Services in 2025


 As we navigate through 2025, finding the right support isn't just about delegating tasks – it's about building a partnership that helps your business thrive.

Picture this: It's 3 AM, and you're drowning in a sea of unanswered emails, missed calendar invites, and administrative tasks that seem to multiply like rabbits. Sound familiar? That was me last spring, before I finally admitted I needed help. Like many business owners, I'd fallen into the "I can do it all" trap. Spoiler alert: I couldn't.

The Search Begins

"I just need someone to handle my inbox," I told myself. Oh, how naive I was. As I began exploring secretarial services, I discovered a whole new world of possibilities. Modern secretarial support isn't just about managing emails and answering phones – it's about finding a true business partner who can help your company thrive.

Sarah, a fellow business owner, shared her story with me over coffee. "I went through three different secretarial services before finding the right fit," she confessed. "The first was too rigid, the second too inexperienced, and the third... well, let's just say they thought AI could replace human intuition entirely."

The Awakening

Here's what I learned: choosing the right secretarial services provider is like dating. You need chemistry, shared values, and clear communication. And just like dating, there are some definite red flags to watch out for.

I remember interviewing one provider who promised they could handle everything – and I mean everything. "We'll manage your social media, do your taxes, walk your dog, and probably solve world peace while we're at it," they claimed. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

The Real Deal

After weeks of searching, I finally found my match. What made them different? They asked questions – lots of them. Instead of just listing their services, they wanted to understand my business, my pain points, and my goals. They weren't just selling secretarial services; they were offering solutions.

"Tell me about your typical day," their representative asked during our first meeting. When I described my chaos-filled schedule, she nodded knowingly. "Let's break this down into manageable pieces," she suggested. That's when I knew I'd found a keeper.

The Learning Curve

Getting started wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. There were hiccups – like the time my new virtual assistant accidentally scheduled all my meetings in Pacific Time when we're based in New York. But here's the key: they owned their mistakes and learned from them.

Making It Work

Now, six months in, I can't imagine running my business without my secretarial services team. They've become an extension of my company, anticipating needs before they arise and solving problems I didn't even know I had.

Want to find your perfect match? Here's what worked for me:

  • Start with a clear picture of your needs. Are you drowning in paperwork? Struggling with customer service? Make a list.
  • Look for providers who ask questions about your business. If they're not curious during the sales process, they won't be invested in your success later.
  • Test the waters with a small project. See how they handle communication, deadlines, and unexpected challenges.
  • Trust your gut. If something feels off during the initial conversations, it probably is.


The Happy Ending (Or Rather, Beginning)

These days, my 3 AM panic sessions are a thing of the past. My secretarial services Singapore team handles the daily administrative tsunami while I focus on growing my business. They've even introduced me to efficiency tools I never knew existed.

Last week, I ran into Sarah again. "How's it going with your new team?" she asked. I couldn't help but smile. "They just handled a client crisis while I was in a day-long strategy session," I told her. "I didn't even know about it until they sent me the resolution summary."

That's the magic of finding the right secretarial services partner – they don't just take tasks off your plate; they give you the freedom to be the business owner you always wanted to be.

The Takeaway

As we navigate through 2025, finding the right support isn't just about delegating tasks – it's about building a partnership that helps your business thrive. Take your time, trust your instincts, and remember: the right secretarial services provider is out there, ready to help you write your own success story.

And who knows? Maybe next time you're up at 3 AM, it'll be because you had a brilliant business idea, not because you're buried in administrative tasks.

Fantastic Adventures vol. 2, no. 3 (March 1940)

Wow, pretty violent. That's an old-fashioned ink pen, one you need to dip into ink? Gruesome. Maybe a coin wasn't the best shield. That monocled, sinister figure is actually right there watching them? The lighting makes it seem like maybe he's superimposed, not actually present.

Original magazine: archive.org/details/Fantastic_…

#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

A sinister figure, dramatically lit from below, looks down at people much smaller than him: two men, one of whom is stabbing the other with a giant (to him, regular size for the watching man) ink pen like a spear. A woman is running toward the two men and another figure is supine behind her. Fantastic Adventures magazine cover from 1940.

This all happened in about thirty seconds.

I was thinking about Searx. Then I thought, wouldn't it be cool if I got a ton of people on a Searx on my IP to just absolutely befuddle the algorithm? Then I thought of what a great idea it would be to have just a network of Searx instances, and even Youtube and such, for people to all make searches and watch videos and whatever on one another's IP addresses so the algorithm can't pin any data to anyone. Then I realized I just basically invented the Tor network.

I remember getting a hold of a copy of Papillion on a vacation with my family when I was a kid and all those prisoners stored objects up their ass, which made no physical sense to me, so I went to my father and asked him if you could store objects in your asshole and the look he gave me I will never forget," WHAT? Why are you asking me that?" I explained and his response was, "that's a good reason to stay out of prison."

Greece: Revolutionary Prisoners Welcome the Liberation of George Abdallah


Following the release of Georges Abdallah and his arrival in Lebanon on July 25, several revolutionary prisoners held in Greece welcomed this announcement, which comes after more than 40 years of imprisonment in France. Anarchist prisoner Nikos Maziotis (left in the photo) wrote a statement on August 2 to celebrate the news.

[…] “Your release from prison is one of the greatest pieces of good news and has enormous meaning for all of us who are part of the international anti-capitalist, anti-state and anti-authoritarian movement. Because good news for one is good news for everyone, it is good for the movements, the peoples in struggle, the poor, the proletariat and the activists incarcerated in prisons, as is of course the opposite for bad news. And the fact that you came out of prison unshakeable, without any questioning of your struggle, is a huge political and moral victory for all of us. »


Similarly, former member of the November 17 Revolutionary Organization and Marxist prisoner Dimitris Koufontinas sent a message after the announcement of the Arab communist’s release.

[…] “Today is a day of immense joy. The beautiful news of your liberation has passed through our cells. I will not speak of liberation. You have always been free of mind, soul, heart, as are those who resist. Only now have they been forced to free your body, to join your brothers in the struggle for a standing Lebanon, and a liberated Palestine. The arch-terrorists, the murderers, the colonialists, the arch-despoilers of the peoples have not succeeded in slandering you by calling you a terrorist or a criminal. Your only crime was to be and always to be a revolutionary, not to have yielded, not to have deserted for a single moment your great responsibility. »
