Has the newspaper industry changed? Absolutely. Change is what we do. Change is in our blood. We’ve been changing with this community for decades. And we’ll continue to change and adapt based on the needs of our consumers and advertisers. Let’s put down the shovels.

We are the market leader, reaching eight-of-10 local consumers every week. Can you name another single source with that audience? No. Do we deliver results for advertisers? Yes. Always have, always will.

The Camera has been serving this community and delivering results for advertisers for 125+ years. We have a lot of positive news to share about our business. More folks are consuming our news and advertising than ever. So while some in the newspaper industry are writing their eulogies, we’re building a solid foundation for our next 125+ years.

Starting today, you’ll find good news from me about our business: Local research about consumer purchasing intentions, shopping patterns and media consumption, information about upcoming advertising opportunities, client recognition and professional education and events.

By The Way will run in the Camera inside Monday’s Business Plus and on the Business Page Tuesday through Friday, as well as online at prairiemountainmedia.com/bytheway.

 

I hope you’ll look for it; I promise to make it a quick read. And please don’t hesitate to drop me a note if you’d like to talk about opportunities for building your business, your market share and your bottom line.We’re in this for the long haul, we have a lot to offer and I’d love to hear from you.
