We bring you the facts
The newspaper industry has been facing tough times for many years and the Covid-19 onslaught has had a severe impact on advertising - the fuel that keeps the news industry going. Reputable conveyers of news - our lifeline to the truth - are more important than ever in this era of fake news mushrooming on social media. During times like these, the importance of trustworthy news sources cannot be stressed enough. By reading our community papers online and following the updates on our websites and Facebook pages, readers get verified information they can trust. All the websites are updated as the real news come in. Chances are, if it’s not on one of our sites, it’s not true and did not happen.
