Dear Reader,
The future of our county newspaper is in your hands.
With 20,000 residents in our county, this paper has chronicled our history, celebrated our successes, exposed our challenges, and connected our communities for decades. But newspapers cannot survive on goodwill alone.
Declining revenue has brought us to the edge. If this paper closes its doors, a vital piece of our community dies with it. No one else will faithfully record our past, report our present, or help shape our future.
Our shared history fades, local accountability weakens, and our children’s stories go untold.
We need your immediate support., from businesses, school districts, fair association, and individuals: buy advertisements, submit congratulations and announcements, and promote what matters here.
Every ad, every notice, every dollar keeps our presses and website running and our community visible to itself.
Support the paper now or watch a cornerstone of our county’s identity disappear forever.
The choice is ours – contact Sherry Schoeneberg at ads2@freestonecountytimes.com for advertising.
Sincerely,
Scott Watson Marsters, Sr.
Publisher/Owner
