How does your newspaper give back to the community?

Missouri Press News, MPA’s monthly member magazine, wants to recognize all the ways the state’s community newspapers benefit the places and people they cover.

Newspaper people are always going above and beyond for their communities, whether it’s sitting on the board of a non-profit group or helping to organize a fundraising event. So, tell Missouri Press News, how does your newspaper give back to the community throughout the year?

Do you raise money for a special cause? Have you provided free copies of the newspaper to your local schools? Is there space in the newspaper for community groups to talk about what they do in their own words?

The things you share don’t have to be limited to something that appears in a printed newspaper, either.

And, finally, if you know of something another newspaper is doing and think they won’t be inclined to toot their own horn, let Missouri Press News know and we’ll play the fanfare for them.

Whatever your publication and staff do, Missouri Press News wants to know and to share your ideas (and celebrate your publication and staff at the same time!) in future editions of your Association’s monthly magazine.
