I started the Humboldt Sentinel as a home-based web-only newspaper on May 23, 2005. Our volunteer staff soon expanded and we re-located to offices in Old Town Eureka in 2006, where we continued operations until late 2012 when I relocated to Oregon.Our viewership averaged around 100,000 hits per month for several years running as we were well-positioned to take advantage of the demise of several local newspapers (namely ones trapped in the failing print model of publication) and the shrinkage of the rest. The Humboldt Sentinel boasted the most in-depth and widest variety of video news and scene clips of any local media on YouTube and on local community television.Along with my skills brought to bear on the editorial page and the general reporting on local government, our electronic pages featured some of the most original music & cultural scene coverage around, everything from independent movie and music reviews to the affairs of the gourmet restaurateur.
