Being a part of the neighborhood matters. Warren E. Buffett on the importance of community newspapers Warren E. Buffett recently summed up the role community newspapers play in our residents’ lives in his letter to Berkshire-Hathaway Shareholders, March 1, 2013 “Newspapers continue to reign supreme in the delivery of local news. If you want to know about what’s going on in your town- there is no substitute for a local newspaper that is doing its job. Wherever there is a pervasive sense of community, a paper that serves the special informational needs of that community will remain indispensible to a significant portion of its residents.” Whether we deliver our local, neighborhood news to our audience in print or online, our newspapers work to serve the people of our community, and our newspapers work for you in serving those same people — your customers.
