We at the City-County Observer strive to be the best at what we do, which is why we focus on only what is laid out in our Mission Statement:
SINCE WE BEGAN TWO YEARS AGO, OUR GOAL HAS BEEN TO KEEP THE EVANSVILLE AREA INFORMED, EDUCATED AND ENTERTAINED WHILE SERVING AS THE COMMUNITY’S WATCHDOG, SOUNDING THE ALARM WHENEVER OUR CITIZENS RIGHTS ARE IN DANGER OF BEING VIOLATED BY OUR ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS. OUR PUBLICATION IS BUILT ON THE CORNERSTONE OF SERVICE AND TRUST TO THE TAXPAYERS AND CITIZENS OF EVANSVILLE AND VANDERBURGH COUNTY.
With that in mind, we acknowledge the other fine media in our area and commend them for the great work they do. Local newspapers such as Evansville Courier and Press; the Mount Vernon Democrat; Posey County News; Warrick County News and the Gleaner of Henderson all do a commendable job of covering their communities. They are all good reading, and we encourage you to visit their web sites on our blog in the upper right corner of our paper. We also would like to recognize our three area television stations, and encourage you to check out their links on our website. We consider ourselves as casual media partners.
While they all do a great job, the City-County Observer is also a media source providing you with contemporary, in-depth coverage of the not-so-obvious happenings in the Evansville area. Starting today we will post daily items, such as breaking news and updates to current articles, seven days a week. After months of analyzing research data, utilizing other marketing practices and conferring with our consultant, we are close to completing Phase I of our original mission (good public policy as pertaining to governmental entities) while making it more reader-friendly and readily available.
As we move forward and successfully complete this first chapter of our reorganization, we will let you know what lies ahead in Phase II. We want to thank our advertisers for staying committed to our cause and continuing to support us with their advertising dollars during our transition. On a final note, our staff will soon expand with the addition of two former members of the established print media who will help us continue our crusade of ensuring that public officials are held accountable.
Sincerely,
The City-County Observer staff
