I keep saying it. “Something you couldn’t do with the print version.” There are so many advantages of the newspaper being digital. No need for bulky archives. No need to hunt down old articles inside back issues. It’s Earth friendly as there is no garbage created by printing 10,000 copies.

Again, we couldn’t do that with the print.
The website works in tandem with the social media outlets. (Facebook & Instagram) So videos and live streams are there for you, no matter what, when, where or how. We truly cover all the bases for you. If there is a news worthy happening that you need to be informed about. For example, an event that happens at noon on a Sunday. The article is up here on the website a couple hours later. You couldn’t do that with the print newspaper. If there is an event to look ahead to. It’s up in the Community Connections section, and you can plan on seeing us there. We even have a real estate section so you can advertise an individual property listing or just expose your real estate company. Something we didn’t have in the print.
