Barry Parr’s newsroom is his home office in Montara. Working part time, he writes up to 10 articles a week for no pay.
Time to quit journalism? Parr doesn’t think so.
He’s intensely excited by his work as reporter, editor and designer for Coastsider.com, a one-man Web site that covers news along the San Mateo County coast. If there’s a murder, board meeting or endangered red-legged frog where homes are to be developed, he wants to write about it.
"When I beat the local newspaper or I put up something I know has a different take on the news, then I get really happy," Parr said. "It’s rewarding."
