While the high and the mighty strut and stanrp 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
passesan 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 1 tell these stories every week. Because I am a•
community newspaper.
I am a community newspaper. My arena is not .Parliament,
W hite.Bouse,-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, shrieking
• 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 grumble, how to' chide, how.
to help.
I am a community newspaper—in a great community. And
I'm proud of it.
Together;
we proudly salute
the community of. Dungannon.
