An experiment in community news

Manor Ink is a youth-driven, community-supported monthly newspaper that was started in 2012. Since then we have come a long way. We’ve covered everything from high school graduations and annual trout parades to fires and devastating floods.

Manor Ink began because there was a need in our community. Livingston Manor, a small town on the edge of the Catskill Mountains in Sullivan County, NY, had no local news outlet. The hamlet’s newspaper had ceased publication in 2009, a victim of the great recession, and even the high school newspaper had closed due to lack of funding.

After several years without a hometown news source, a local mom had an idea. “Why not start a community-wide newspaper staffed by the hamlet’s teens?” she asked. “It can be sponsored by the Manor’s library.” It was a brilliant idea, and within a few months, Manor Ink was born.

The paper has been a vehicle to grow awareness of events, opportunities and businesses locally. Manor Ink has empowered its young staff to find and use our voice in the greater community and given us skills that we will use for the rest of our lives. It has highlighted the importance of local news production and literacy as part of the “glue” of a community.
