Editor’s blog added to The SUN/TOWN REMINDER Web sites

 

Bet those 1745 Englishmen who settled in the “Ireland Parish” never envisioned this! A new blog managed and moderated by Editor Aimee M. Henderson  has been designed at www.holyokesunonline.com and www.townreminderonline.com to build our sense of community, honor history, celebrate resources, and innovate our future.

Unlike some media blogs, this will be a true reflection of your communities, not solely of controversy. While some serious topics previously reported on our news pages may be presented by the editor for moderated discussion, the bulk of our blog chats will offer good news.

All postings will be filtered through the editor before going live. The blog will follow the same journalistic standards as our letters to the editor policy. No anonymous responses will be allowed. All entries must be based in fact and not defamatory or libelous in any way.

Readers are encouraged to suggest a factual blog discussion to the editor.

Each week, we will print highlights of the previous blog discussion on this page, and preview what’s ahead for the next issue.

If no chats occur, the editor will take poetic license and blog about her own experiences, what she’s heard in and around our towns, present breaking news, and discuss the paper in general.

Readers can access the new feature by clicking on the “Editor’s Blog” icon at the lower right hand of the main page. We hope you enjoy this new feature and new way of conducting blogs.
