Happy Thanksgiving one and all!
This week is National Newspaper week and the first pages here are in recognition of newspapers. I am pleased that I still get daily phone calls with readers loving the North Simcoe Springwater News mainly because they can read something on paper. Many I speak to are tired of being on a computer and enjoy the printed version so much more. It is a unique paper with local content but not unlike the many other newspapers in print across Canada. The smaller newspapers are thriving. Governments are supporting newspapers more now than ever. It is for a good reason, democracy. The people need a forum to believe. My main goal is to research facts before I print anything. I have a team of lawyers available 24/7 to vet any materials, before I go to print. What social media has that resource? None. So trust newspapers, most people do (a well researched fact). There are always folks that want to believe what they want and will spin facts to their liking. Not this paper! Enjoy.
