With the second issue on the newsstands, I have a moment to catch my breath before starting on next week's paper.
A few thoughts come to mind...
1) There will always be some level of overlap in coverage with the Montgomery County News. However, I find myself using more than I would like to fill the Glenwood Herald in our first weeks. My hope is there are people or organizations that would like to share what they are doing in the community. Feel free to submit your ideas and/or columns for consideration in our local paper.
2) Our church page is a special space in the paper for me. It took me a long time to start writing a column for it, but I find myself looking forward to it now. I am thankful for Jerry Griffin's article that we print in the Montgomery County News each week and would love to find a preacher or Bible teacher in the Glenwood area who would be interested in sharing a column for the Glenwood Herald. If you are interested please let me know. If we have more than one interested we can always rotate columns in the paper.
3) Local support has been encouraging so far. I know there will be times when we may not see eye to eye, but I pledge to always do my best to provide honest, fair, and true information in the Glenwood Herald. While I am not a "trained" journalist, I have always tried to be as honest with my coverage as possible. I think that is the best approach.
4) I ask for your patience and continued support as we continue to make changes to the Glenwood Herald. We are working on updating our current website to include the Glenwood Herald. Online subscriptions are not currently available, but we are working on that as well.
5) Finally, thank you for your support and if there is anything we can do please let us know. You can send a message here on Facebook, call us at (870) 867-2821, or email me at [email protected]
