The Bugle wants your input: sustaining community-based journalism

Local newspapers play a vital role in fostering strong communities by reporting on youth and community news and initiatives. This article highlights how you can contribute to sustaining local journalism and support The Bugle in serving our community.


Our mission is to inform you about local happenings, share valuable information, celebrate community achievements, and spotlight areas needing attention to prompt action. We aim to educate readers on relevant issues and ideas, fostering a sense of cohesion and pride among locals.



You can all be roving reporters:


The Bugle is your community newspaper, and we need your stories and insights to do our job well. You can all be part of our reporting team, helping us keep our readers informed and engaged.


How you can help: share your news and ideas

Feel free to email us your information and ideas. If there’s something you want to know about, we will explore it. If there’s something you want us to share with others, provide us with the details and images if possible.



Ways to get involved:


Blow Your Bugle: Share what’s on your mind, similar to "letters to the editor." We can keep your name confidential if you prefer to remain anonymous, but we still need to know who you are.


Submit your ideas: Email us at [email protected] with your thoughts and include your phone number so we can follow up for more details if needed.


Volunteer: We always appreciate help, especially with delivering newspapers in certain areas. It's a great way to get some exercise!



Local contributors: Submit your articles about community group activities, events, and initiatives. Don’t worry about word perfection - just write, and we’ll handle the rest. We’ll edit your pieces for readability but need the facts. Original photos are still required.


Attend our public events: The Bugle has recently held a public debate to inform locals about the upcoming referendum. We intend to hold more debates or public information sessions about other important matters into the future. Coming along and getting involved ensures that initiatives like this can continue.


Your contributions are essential in keeping our community informed and connected. By sharing your stories and ideas, you help sustain the local journalism that binds us together. Thank you for supporting The Bugle!
