PRINTED SUNDAY NEWSPAPER TO BE HATCHED IN SEPTEMBER
Over the years the City-County Observer has strived to serve as a “Community Watchdog” by sounding the alarm when our citizen’s rights are in danger of being violated by large Corporations, Federal, State, and Local Governmental agencies as well as elected or appointed officials.
We realize that a community can have no greater ambassador of goodwill than one which keeps its citizens informed about the accomplishments, failures, and triumphs of individuals, the business community, churches, hospitals, community groups, educational institutions, and elected and appointed officials.
When we started publishing the City-County Observer 17 years ago our mission was to provide the citizens of Evansville and Vanderburgh County a place to go to learn about things that are going on in our community that other media are reluctant to cover?
In a previous “Readers Poll” we asked the question: Should the City-County Observer publish a printed Sunday newspaper? Â The “Readers Poll” results stated that we should by an overwhelming margin. Many local movers and shakers of this community told us that they would like to see the City-County Observer print a Sunday Edition of the City-County Observer.
It’s with great pride and anticipation the owners and staff of the City-County Observer proudly announce that on September 6, 2020, we will be printing a Sunday newspaper. The September date will allow us ample time to design the paper layout and plan a strategy of what locations will be most profitable for the delivery of the City-County Observer. This date will also allow us to see if the COVID-19 virus doesn’t spike again so it won’t interfere with the publishing and distribution of the CCO.
We will be charging $1 dollar for this publication. The printed papers will be available at convenient locations throughout Evansville and Vanderburgh County on Sunday mornings. Â We will pledge 25 cents of each dollar that we collect from the sale of our Sunday papers will be donated to a local charity.We would like for the majority of the advertising published in our Sunday newspaper to come from local businesses. Obituaries will be published in our Sunday printed newspaper at no charge?
In the near future, we will be announcing the names of our soon to be appointed Editorial Board. Â The board makeup will be comprised of well known and highly respected individuals in our community. The mission our Editorial Board will be to help us to become a more effective publication that mirrors the happenings in our community.
We look forward to providing the citizens of Evansville/Vanderburgh County with an affordable home owned non-partisan printed Sunday newspaper at a convenient location near you?
FOOTNOTE: Today’s “Readers Poll” question is:Â Are you pleased with the way that City Council President Alex Burton is conducting himself during Council meetings?
I hope you will give us a list of locations where we can get it.
