ROCKFORD, IL — ETF ENTERTAINMENT LLC proudly announces the revival of The Market Street Press legacy in loving memory of the late Lisa Marie Palmeno—an influential journalist, artist, and voice for the Rockford community. Though the original paper is no longer in print, its mission lives on through the newly launched ETF ENTERTAINMENT Roku TV Magazine—a multimedia publication blending print, digital, and televised storytelling.
“Lisa Marie Palmeno created a space where creativity, truth, and community thrived,” said Shakia Yancey, President of ETF ENTERTAINMENT. “While the name and format have evolved, we are deeply committed to continuing the work she began.”
The Legacy Continues: A Special Page in Every Issue
Each month, a dedicated “Market Street Press Legacy Page” will appear in the ETF ENTERTAINMENT Roku TV Magazine, curated in memory and collaboration with Lisa’s vision. This space will feature artistic expression, local storytelling, and community contributions that reflect the original heart of The Market Street Press.
