Show Notes
As part of its 50th anniversary celebration, The River Reporter is working to address one of its biggest challenges: finding enough staff to cover the extensive geographic area of its readership
In a new initiative aimed at enhancing that local news coverage gap, the newspaper is launching its 2025 News Ambassador program this spring. The program invites community members to volunteer their time and energy to help ensure that vital local government meetings are accessible to the public and adequately reported.
Laurie Stuart, Publisher of The River Reporter, says she hopes to create a community of News Ambassadors who curate a groundswell of support for accurate local news dissemination.
