The Patriot-News, part of PA Media Group in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, has begun publishing a series highlighting coronavirus heroes.
In this example, the paper highlights Talond Luckette, the 33-year-old Harrisburg High grad who owns the Texas Roadhouse on Union Deposit Road. He watched his community suffer the past couple weeks to the point that he had enough. So, he did what he believed any good restaurant owner might when it comes time to try to change his community’s outlook. He cooked. A lot. Enough for 1,500 or so free meals handed off to a long line of cars filled with the city’s police and fire employees, as well as school district employees.
With each article, the paper notes that it wants to shine a spotlight on people whose acts of kindness provide some good news in these dark times. "If you know a coronavirus hero — someone who has inspired you with their generosity or a selfless act — please tell us about them by emailing newstips@pennlive.com."
America's Newspapers wants to highlight additional ways that newspapers are highlighting the good news in this time of crisis. Share your story with cdurham@newspapers.org.
