Publisher’s note - April 2014

Keep the cycle going

In these uncertain economic times it is important now more than ever to remind your community of the importance and value of their community newspaper.

Community newspapers boost the local economy – both through advertising and in news coverage. They showcase community businesses at a time we need to be shop locally, investing in the community and protecting local jobs. They allow “mom and pop” businesses to reach their most likely customers.

Community newspapers bring us “good news” They help neighbors get to know each other a little better. They allow readers to make their voices heard, and they enable ordinary citizens to deliberate on the future of their community. Community newspapers pull communities together. They help connect people with those around them. In this way, community newspapers provide a valuable public service.

If you want your “very” local Emery Village Voice to flourish, please shop local when you can and support the business that advertise in the newspaper on a monthly basis. And businesses please support your local newspaper with advertising as we have very attentive readers with money to spend at your businesses.

The cycle is assured to continue with your continued support.
