Just Say “As advertised in the Reminder” Hastings Saturday, October 4, 2014 – Page 7
Newspapers bring together the community family As fall arrived and my thoughts turned to organizing our third annual voluntary partnership appeal, I was struck one evening recently by how strong the theme of family plays in my work here a J-Ad Graphics. We’ve been a family of newspapers for nearly 70 years and it’s been my life’s work since those days of after-school and weekend chores for my mom and dad, Mel and Alice, who purchased the Reminder in 1945. That paper along with the Maple Valley News, the Sun and News, and Lakewood News and the Hastings Banner are my family. I care about their place in the community, about the role they play in promoting their communities and in holding their leaders accountable for responsible government, education, and law enforcement. I care enough that, as the newspaper business began unraveling in the last decade, I asked you to help. These papers and this work are my family and I fight for my family. The 122 employees and nearly 200 carriers who help me to get these newspapers on your doorstop or in your box every week are also a family to me. Many of them have been here for more than 25 years. Some of them have even come back to work for us after having left to pursue other ventures. I’m proud of this family, too, and, in the next couple of weeks in this space, I want you to meet them. You’ll see, as I do every day, how their work is not a job, it’s a mission and the responsibilities they accept to be objective journalists will confirm for you why I believe newspapers to be so vital to a community’s life. Our reporters also have nurtured warm and caring hearts. When they get a chance to let that part of their life come into their work you, like me, are touched by the work they can do and the gifts they provide as a newspaper staff for the community. My immediate and personal family is, naturally, a loving gift in my life. Because they’ve insisted on becoming a third generation in this business and because they bring a younger, vibrant spirit to this changing business, I want you to meet them, too. That I will also offer you in the coming weeks in this space. When I look at those many families in my life, I realize that they
exist within a larger family, one which also carries deep meaning for me, our community. As a family of newspapers, as a family of employees, and as a personal family we receive so many gifts as part of the community in Barry County and its surrounding areas. For us, we feel privileged to be in a position to offer something in return to our community, our newspapers. We continue to struggle on the business side in offering these gifts each week. During the last two years, your gifts of voluntary partnerships and heart-given financial donations, have helped to ease the struggle and to ensure continued delivery of valuable news content and reading entertainment. We believe your investment is a sound one. Our most recent audited figures show that 90.1 percent of households regularly read or look through The Reminder and 32% of readers keep their latest edition for more than one week. For seven consecutive years, The Reminder has been rated by the CDC auditing group as one of the top 2 percent newspapers in the nation for readership and receivership. Our advertising revenue, the financial foundation on which any newspaper stands, however, continues to erode. Just in the past year, we’ve lost two major advertisers, one to a fire and the other to purchase of the business by a nationwide chain of stores. It’s been through the financial help of our loyal readers and community residents who understand the value of a newspaper in their life that we’ve been able to withstand these challenges. My hope is that, as we approach you in the next three weeks with our report on the business and my introduction to you of my families, you will again be inspired to support our voluntary membership program. Watch for the special giving envelope in the coming weeks or go online to www.hastingsreminder.com to our voluntary partnership site. Your partnership will make it possible for us to continue publishing the papers you’ve enjoyed for so many years. After all, it’s family. Fred Jacobs, Vice President J-Ad Graphics, Inc.
