EDITORIAL

A partnership that’s hard at work all year

A partnership that’s hard at work all yearPublishing a newspaper is not an individual effort. It takes a dedicated staff and talented contributors, loyal readers and generous advertisers. This arrangement, this teamwork, helps make publishing the News, which is wrapping up its 123rd year, possible. More important, it helps make this a community paper, and for that, we are extremely proud and grateful.
Listed below are the names of all those who contributed this year to the News through letters to the editor, columns and commentaries, reviews and the occasional cartoon and poem. The opinion page is the most important part of a newspaper, and the people listed have helped make this page a viable, active forum. For that, we thank you. Your contributions make this a better paper. At this time next year, we hope to list even more names, especially from people who have never written to the News before.
We would also like to acknowledge all those people who have contributed in other ways, by submitting announcements and press releases, obituaries, items for the “In and around Yellow Springs” section, photos and sports reports. Week after week, this paper is filled with valuable information about Yellow Springs, and much of it is generated by current and former residents. Your valuable contributions are appreciated.
And thanks to our advertisers, those who buy display ads and classifieds, for helping us keep the presses rolling every week. Without you, we could not publish this paper.
Most of all, thanks to our readers, for your support, ideas, thoughts and opinions. The News would not be what it is without you.
