We'd love your feedback...

Greetings!

Do you miss local news? Do you wonder what events are happening in our community? So do we!

Several months ago, a group of civic-minded folks with experience in business, government, and journalism began discussing what it would take to form a non-profit, nonpartisan, online news service for the greater Ephrata, Washington community. 

Maybe you know some of us. Participating in these discussions have been Chuck Allen, John Antosz, Randy Bracht, Casey Devine, Katie Kapalo, Chelan Kleyn, Shannon Lowry, Sarah Morford, Mike and Sharon Scellick, Susan Scheib, and Mike Tabler. We all agree on one thing: that the Ephrata community needs a local, reliable, and high-quality independent provider of news.

Our proposed online news service would provide coverage of:

·      local governments and other agencies and decision-makers with local impact;

·      community and school events, including festivals and sports

·      significant breaking-news events;

·      features and personalities;

·      local/county records and public service announcements;

·      obituaries

We’ve created a beta version of what we have in mind and would love to hear from you! We’ve included recent topical news and photos of local events. Please review our website and let us know what you think by filling out this survey (Click here for the survey). Please provide your responses to me by 5 p.m. on Monday, March 17 (Happy St. Patrick’s Day!)

Thank you in advance for your consideration and candid feedback.
