Thank a Newspaper

If you’re reading this, thank your local newspaper. It exists because your local community supports and values the importance of community news.

We live in a world of rapid-fire information. Algorithms decide what pops up on your feed, and the news you’re served often isn’t news at all. People are feeling the weight of digital fatigue and it shows.

That’s where your local newspaper comes in. Community newspapers are the anchor. Behind each story is a local reporter who lives in the same community as you do. They cover city meetings, so you don’t have to sit through three-hour agendas. They look into changes in zoning laws, rising utility rates, and school policies because these decisions affect your streets, your taxes and your children.
