Self reported impact on the communities the newsroom serves.
With a focus on hyper local news, we keep our community informed of all important happenings in education, politics, and disaster response. In 2020 we're covering the Coronavirus in our town with enough breadth and information to combat a town twice our size. Since debuting in 2015, our website traffic has grown to about 50,000 views a month, and our newspaper has growing to over 120 subscribers. That's despite having another newspaper here in town that has been here for over 100 years. We have one of the largest Facebook Pages in the county, with nearly 12,000 followers that read our content regularly.
