While the high and the mighty strut and stamp across the world's stage, six women go out to visit the
elderly.
A small boy scores the winning goal in a hockey game. An amateur theatre group produces a smash
hit. A town council passes an important new law.
The real lives of real people. People who don't start wars, who don't build empires, who don't go into
the history books.
But whose stories are exciting, interesting, vital and important. Stories that should be told.
And I tell these stories every week. Because I am a community newspaper.
I am a community newspaper. My arena Ls not Parliament, the White House, the U.N. — it is the
neighbourhood. The community. But what I have to say about it, touches my readers' lives every bit
as much as that larger drama. Maybe even more.
I am a community newspaper. I am welcomed into hundreds of homes every week. Not as an intruder,
&Wilding out the harshness, violence and complexity of the world. But as a friend. A mirror of my
readers' lives. Their joys, sorrows, accomplishments.
I am a community newspaper. I am proud, tough, independent. I know when to smile, when to grum-
ble, how to chide how to help.
m
I am a community newspaper — in a great community. And I'm proud of it.
