Davisville, March 9, 2026: Yolo’s news picture starts looking a little brighter

Mon, 03/09/2026 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Rural Yolo, January 2020.JPG

After years of dwindling news coverage in Yolo County, two regional news outlets — the Sacramento Bee and Abridged, a news source started by Sacramento public TV station KVIE in 2025 — have each launched free Yolo weekly newsletters this year, using stories written by journalists assigned to cover the county.

Today we talk with one of the reporters, Daniel Hennessy of Abridged, about how he finds and reports stories, and why Yolo is now getting more attention. He plans to cover the entire county, and his topics so far include the respite center on L Street in Davis, a proposed downtown entertainment zone in Winters, the county’s budget deficit, and fly-fishing on Putah Creek.

Related program from September 2025: '"We talk with Benjy Egel, food editor for Abridged, a major new source of regional news," plus links to Yolo news at the Bee and Abridged

In this episode we talk about the triggers of a melencholy feeling in music. Sometimes music doesn’t make us sad, it reminds us that we have lived. A melody can carry a memory, and when that memory returns, so does the feeling attached to it. That’s the quiet power of music.
