It’s all local to us

When we first began publishing a community newspaper in November 1996, the Internet was in its infancy and smartphones, tablets, Wi-Fi, Facebook and Twitter were unheard of.

Now, more than 25 years later, the Internet is a source of instantaneous news about what’s going on regionally, statewide, nationally and internationally, and in the race for what news source can be the first to make a story go viral, weekly magazines and daily newspapers continue to adapt and redefine their role.

But despite the explosion in technological advances and ways of connecting with the world, one thing has remained constant: people still want information about what’s going on in their neighbor- hood and community, whether it’s about things like how roadwork will impact their daily travels, a new restaurant opening up, a rash of home break-ins, or details about a property tax increase.

That’s why residents in northwest Guilford County repeatedly thank us for providing a connection to their world that is personally relevant.

In addition to the Northwest Observer, which is published in print and digitally on the first, third and firth Thursday of each month,

PS Communications publishes one semi-annual and four annual special-focus publications and hosts a frequently visited and updated community Facebook page and website. All of our products are exclusively targeted to northwest

Guilford County and are personally relevant to our staff as well, since we live, work and volunteer in the communities that we cover.

As the ways in which news and information is delivered and received continue to evolve, we are as committed to adapting to them as we are to adhering to our original mission of providing “hyper-local” news, stories and information that is personally valued by residents of northwest Guilford County. Thanks for taking the time to learn more about us.
