In honor of Local News Day, meet your Local News Team!Open House at Kdulche Cafe, Saturday, April 4, 9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
LANSING, Ill. — The Lansing Journal has seen exciting changes over the past year, and Local News Day gives us an opportunity to celebrate. We are inviting the community to an in-person Open House at Kdulche Cafe, 3521 Ridge Road in Lansing (across from Beggars Pizza).
Officially, Local News Day is April 9. We’ll be holding our celebration on the Saturday ahead of that, April 4, to allow maximum participation.
Our team now includes four full-time staff and a curated list of freelancers. This is an opportunity to meet the people behind the bylines.
Kdulche owner Eduardo Zepeda will provide free coffee for guests during the Open House. He’ll also discount the price of his signature drink, the Lansing Journal Latte.
What is Local News Day, you ask?
Local News Day is a new movement launched by the Montana Free Press with support from a coalition of journalists and media innovators. 2026 is the inaugural year.
The Local News Day is designed to create momentum around celebrating and strengthening trusted local news and information. At our in-person event on April 4, Lansing Journal staff will be available to help new subscribers sign up, to accept donations, and to engage with readers.
We also want you to bring news tips and story ideas! And ask questions of any member of the Journal team!
Plan to join us at Kdulche on April 4. The Lansing Journal is grateful to be part of a community that values local news and information. We are proud of the local news team we have in place to serve this community. And we are excited to celebrate Local News Day at a fellow local business.
Please mark your calendars and join us Saturday, April 4, 9:30 – 11:30 a.m., at Kdulche Cafe, 3521 Ridge Road in Lansing.
