Community newspapers are much more than paper and ink; we have not followed in the path of daily newspapers. Unlike them, our circulation and advertising remain strong. We pull our communities together, helping connect people with those around them. In this way, community newspapers provide a valuable form of public service. Weekly publications help strengthen the communities they serve. As the daily newspapers have downsized for economic reasons, shifted away from local coverage and focused on the national news, we have become a must-read in each of our communities. Community newspapers are the last line of defense to boost the local economy, both through advertising and in news coverage. They showcase community businesses at a time when we need to be shopping locally, investing in the community and protecting local jobs.
