EDWARDSVILLE - Senior wide receiver Joey DeMare has made quite a few clutch receptions in his stint with the Edwardsville High varsity football team, and Aug. 25 was no exception, as he hauled in Jake Curry's five-yard pass with 33.5 seconds left that proved to be the winner as the Tigers won over Jackson, Mo. 30-21 in the season opener at Tiger Stadium. Edwardsville sealed the win on the first play after the kickoff when a bad snap from center went into the end zone, where the Indians recovered the ball for a safety and the two points that clinched the game. It was DeMare's catch in the end zone in the final minute that put Edwardsville ahead and after the game, DeMare was very full of emotion. "A lot of emotions, honestly," DeMare said in his postgame interview. "Like, it feels just like last year, even better, because we did it twice.

Nearly the entire police force raided the Marion County Record in August 2023. The search warrant was later withdrawn after the Marion County Attorney determined that it was based on “insufficient evidence.”

Marion County Record

Caitlin Vogus spoke to the Lawfare podcast last week about the police raid of the Marion County Record, its chilling effect on the press, and steps journalists can take to protect themselves against future police raids and other searches.

As Vogus, deputy director of advocacy for Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), told Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien:

“The raid on Marion was rare, but it is not the only type of violation of press freedom that’s in a similar vein that we’re concerned about at Freedom of the Press Foundation. … We have to stay vigilant about press freedom in the U.S. We can’t be complacent and think we have the First Amendment and everything is fine.”

FPF also led national discussions on News Nation with Chris Cuomo, Scripps News Morning Rush, and the News in Context podcast.
