What Makes the Messenger Different?
It is our pleasure and our purpose to help lift the community. We want to use our voice to do more than just tell what happened, although that too is very important.
Each week our editor Matt Meduri has two very important columns. National, State and Local Temperature Checks is a column that gives you the pulse of what’s going on at each level.
The second column is Civics 101. This is an excellent way our readers can better understand how and why our Government works the way it does. Each week Matt delves into a very specific piece, such as in the October 1st issue, “The Constitution: Article II, Section 1”.
We have our Small Business Spotlights to help give our local businesses the recognition they deserve. Not just about the business services provided, but about highlighting all the great people behind them. You will often hear that small business is the backbone of the community because it is true. And we’re here not just to ask for advertising dollars but to walk alongside them and assist in their success.
We have weekly columns covering local history, local farmers and their produce, and advances and understanding in technology, plus the heartfelt perspectives column that keeps everyday life, well, in perspective. Throw in a few sports, and that rounds out what really is a great paper.
Because you can never learn too much, we provide even more Bits and Pieces – a little education at a glance and a puzzle or two to keep the mind sharp.
Whereas all the aforementioned makes us a standout amongst the many, our truest asset is our team. We have a small but truly dedicated team to put out a quality newspaper. Led by Editor-in-Chief Matt Meduri whose knowledge and understanding of all things, both American and world history, government, politics, his faith, grammar, music, and more, truly an impressive mind. The Messenger is grateful to have him and to share him with you.
Lastly, we often hear that print is no longer necessary, but we strongly disagree. There is something very special about holding the paper while having your morning coffee or evening drink. You can choose to read an article that interests you and have no pop-up ads or need to X things out as a constant distraction. You can read things that are intelligently written and matter to your everyday life. Not losing hours of each day to doomscrolling, clearly causing detriment to our minds and bodies and adding zero value.
So please join us and read along as we educate, inform, and support the communities that we are very proud to be part of.
