Dear Reader, I am writing to you today to say thank you for your support of Georgetown/Acton Independent and Free Press. Whether you devour the paper from cover to cover every week, and then scour the flyers for deals or visit Theifp.ca every morning and evening to get your news, I just want to say thank you for using us as your primary source for community news. Community comes in many forms - a conversation at a local coffee shop, a Facebook page devoted to sports scores or a website listing local events. But journalism, I would argue, is rare. It asks questions and demands answers. It examines data, spots trends and sheds light. It finds people and tells their stories. Georgetown/Acton Independent and Free Press is invested in and committed to community journalism and I believe you are, too. We are focused on the issues that impact your community and family. We are committed to covering your community with passion and intelligence. I am reaching out to you today to appeal to your commitment to journalism. We have a common goal of building a stronger community, by celebrating our best days but also shining a light on the worst, so together we can right wrongs and fill voids. Join us on our journey in keeping your local news alive by registering at Theifp.ca. Thank you for working alongside us all these years; I hope we can count on your support in the years to come. Sincerely, Karen Miceli Managing Editor 289-293-0616 kmiceli@metroland.com twitter @IFP_11 facebook /IndependentAndFreePress TheIFP ca
