supporting local journalism

Supporting local journalism is essential for informed and engaged communities. Local news outlets provide invaluable coverage of local issues events and government activities that directly impact our daily lives. One benefit of newspapers being free is that it is accessible to everyone.

This ensures that important information is available to all members of the community regardless of their financial situation. This accessibility ensures that no one is left behind and that important news is disseminated to the widest possible audience which is crucial for an informed and engaged community.
