By Marissa Conrad

Did I fall off the bridal-boot-camp wagon? Sort of—figuring out I would be gone almost every weekend in May (Mother’s Day in Wisconsin, trips to Philadelphia and Delaware) made me swap out my eight-week, two-session commitment for a four-week, one-session stint.

Can DC’s New Digital News Operations Replace the Once-Great Newspaper Bureaus?
