All hands help to get word out

Friday’s newspaper showed up on your doorstep or in your email inbox just like it normally does, but getting it there this week was a scorching hot reminder of just how wonderful the community is that we live in.

Local news is good for business

Local news is good for business

It’s no secret that recent years have been tough on small businesses and on newspapers. A bipartisan bill, the Community News & Small Business Support Act, that has been introduced in Congress would offer relief to both newspapers and local businesses. For too many newspapers, help can’t come soon enough. Economic challenges have resulted in too many communities seeing their local newspapers being forced to lay off staff, cut back on publication days or – worse yet – close. On average, two newspapers are closing each week. That hurts local businesses and residents in the long (and short) run. However, despite the challenges, what remains true is that local newspapers make a differ- ence in their communities.
