In order to meet the changing needs and wants of their wide and diverse audience of readers, newspapers must evolve right along with them.

We brought home seven awards in all, three of them for first place.

The recent epic mayoral tussle produced a virtual flood of submissions. Emotions ran high in many of the narratives.

That’s why we target the majority of our pre-election coverage to the final 10 days or so before voters go to the polls.

It’s a worthwhile service to provide newspaper readers, who research shows also happen to be among the most likely voters any time there is an election.

Those who attended a public meeting Monday night at the Maple Avenue United Methodist Church sure think so.

The rise of the Internet and easy use of digital media have allowed newspapers to employ these information delivery methods rather than rely solely on print media.

Its annual fund-raising campaign continues to excel and reach for new heights, and its funding distribution system has earned the faith and trust of its many corporate and individual donors.
