Editorial Support
|
• Along with their news duties the Almaguin News editorial team takes great pride in providing support to local fundraisers and area community groups.
• During the construction of the new Almaguin Highlands Secondary School the paper ran stories at least once a month on the various community projects that were ongoing to enhance the school culminating in the school reunion that was held just before the closure of the old high school that was being replaced. More than 2,000 people attended the event.
• Already this year the editorial team has promoted a number of community events including multiple stories on the Kearney Dog Sled Races in February that are easily the biggest draw to the Almaguin region in the winter season with a story each of the three weeks leading up to the event, not to mention the coverage of the races themselves.
• The Burk’s Falls and District Food Bank is the area’s largest such centre and the Almaguin News team keeps in regular contact with the organization doing stories when usage there spikes and they need help filling their shelves.
• The Almaguin News makes room every week for six community columns that carry submissions from grassroots organizations like church auxiliaries, firefighters associations, legions, seniors’ groups, historical and genealogical societies and more.
• The Almaguin News provides during the school year space to Almaguin Highlands Secondary School students to tell their stories directly about drama, sports and fundraising activities at the school.
• Staff work many weekends and evenings making sure their community is reflected in the pages of their paper.
