A New Year Brings New Beginnings

■ PUBLISHER’S PAGE A New Year Brings New Beginnings

Over 360 local newspapers have gone out of business since the pandemic began. According to Northwestern University’s journalism school, about two local news providers close their doors each week. Increases in the prices of paper and postage combined with a global recession in advertising spending have hit smaller publishers the most. Our City has been impacted by these trends as well. We are, however, committed to continuing to bring the community the same local and school news we have had for years. We are restructuring and reinvigorating ourselves for a prosperous 2023.

We will publish our magazines in the Broward County cities we serve and continue to inform you about the latest goings-on in the community. Our focus, as always, will be on providing our readers with a valuable source of community news and offering advertisers an unparalleled way to reach local residents.

Here is to a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2023!

Sincerely, Christy & Terry Jaillet
