DDNews Discontinues Printing Saturday Paper

March 6, 2023 By Dayton Most Metro

Cox First Media will begin printing the Dayton Daily News, Springfield News-Sun and Journal-News six days a week, eliminating the Saturday printed edition on May 6. Though there will be no home delivery or single copy Saturday paper, the Saturday edition will be available through all digital channels, including the daily ePaper, newsletters and websites.

Every day, more loyal subscribers and more new readers are getting their news online as the evolution toward digital journalism accelerates. Currently, most newspaper readers rely on digital products for trusted local news.

Advertising and operations have aligned to support all print and digital products. Cox First Media is connecting a growing online audience to the community, the region and the businesses that serve it.

Every subscription to a Cox First Media newspaper includes daily access to every digital product and website for the Dayton Daily News, Springfield News-Sun and Journal-News.

The parent company of Cox First Media is Cox Enterprises, Inc. which began in Dayton, Ohio with the purchase of the Dayton Daily News 125 years ago. The company was founded on a passion for serving the community with quality news and has always been driven by innovation and change. Throughout its history and continuing today, Cox Enterprises is a leader in the media industry with a commitment to growing and nurturing credible, fact-based journalism.

Artist of the Week: Stephanie Beiser

February 19, 2023 By Bill Franz

ARTIST OF THE WEEK Stephanie Beiser in her studio.

I wanted to meet Stephanie after seeing her work at the Dayton Art Museum’s store and at the Contemporary Dayton’s CoSHOP. Then I heard about her latest project and knew I should visit her studio right away.

Stephanie made 500 bowls for the Empty Bowls event on Thursday, February 23 benefiting House of Bread To get tickets for this event, and one of Stephanie’s bowls, go to https://houseofbread.org/

Although her pottery is amazing, Stephanie tells me she thinks of herself as more of a teacher than a potter.

“When I first came to Dayton I taught at Sinclair and then at Stivers School for the Arts” she told me. “Now I teach pottery at Edison State Community College and for the last six years I also teach at the University of Dayton.”

“I also work part-time at Cornell Studio Supply. That’s sort of part of my own continuing education in ceramic arts because Cornell brings in some of the country’s best ceramic artists for workshops. That gives me the chance to learn new techniques or just to get inspired by the best people in the field.”

Three Major Benefits of Playing Trivia and Where To Play

February 15, 2023 By Dayton937

Although our learning capabilities deteriorates over time, it is possible to keep our brain trained and in shape, so that we are able to better retain information. Answering trivia questions helps us to improve and expand our knowledge without us noticing. Here are 3 reasons you should be playing trivia games:

1. Trivia—Your Brain on Questions

According to psychologist John Kounios, answering a trivia question correctly triggers a release of dopamine in the brain that gives the person answering a sense of pleasure. Beyond that short-term benefit, collecting and deploying information can exercise the brain as we age, supporting healthy neurological function. Trivia is like taking your brain to the gym, and the best part is you won’t even need a shower afterwards.

2. Take a Screen Break

Computer scientist Cal Newport says that the most important trait to develop in our increasingly distracted world is the ability to focus deeply on one task at a time. Smart devices and social media, while fun, can have the unintended effect of rewiring our brains to crave constant stimulation. This state of hyper-stimulation has the unintended effect of making it difficult to focus for long periods of time. Trivia, however, provides a built-in break from screen time.

3. Getting Together

Team trivia is an inherently social activity. At the same time you’re answering the questions, you’re reconnecting with people, or maybe making new friends. Plus, the quiz questions provide all sorts of interesting fodder. You might even find out that one of your friends is an expert in some obscure subject that you’d never heard about before. As far as social experiences go, trivia is hard to beat.

Dayton at Work and Play: Umoja East & Central African Market

February 9, 2023 By Bill Franz

Angelique Nyambanguka came to Dayton from the Congo 7 years ago. She started Umoja East and Central African Market last year at 2601 Stanley Avenue. It’s one of the three international markets in Old North Dayton. The shop is filled with items from Africa.

Angelique showed me around the shop and I ended up buying some tea from Rwanda. As we talked, Angelique apologized that her English was not perfect. When I learned that she speaks four languages I suggested that she shouldn’t feel bad if she fails to speak them all perfectly.

Here she is showing me some shoes from Africa.
