LETTER

Local media 

I understand several local newspapers have stopped their publication, at least temporarily.  If their advertising clients disappear by the end of this, they will not be able to resume publication, and who knows where their staff will be by then.  This would be a disaster for the communities they serve because these rural  and farm areas do not have access to full media coverage, professional and accountable coverage of their region’s news. I want to say here how fortunate we are to have our own community paper still publishing -- thank you, Bulletin!  And it looks to me it is government advertising about COVID that is keeping you alive, and other similar papers. Thank you, Federal Government!  We are getting real information, without relying on the maliciousness of social media.  Thank you again, Bulletin d’Aylmer, good work!
