Just The Two Of Us - Shop Local

We are carrying on the holiday tradition of promoting our dad Jeb's annual "Shop Local" message he prints in the newspaper each year. We've recorded another Just The Two Of Us and for this week's Episode 49: Shop Local we are highlighting a few things happening in town for the holidays and then spend some time on a message about changes coming with our family-owned community newspaper, the News-Register. Owning and operating a 4th generation local newspaper is not easy, but it's something our family has been proud to do for almost 100 years. But times change, and we all know that the position newspapers have in a community has changed dramatically over the last few decades. And that is why, once again, the newspaper is making changes so that it can continue to be a trusted source of local news for McMinnville for years to come. We hope this information, paired with the importance of highlighting shopping local for the holidays, is something that you take to heart. We're all in this together, and that extends to the newspaper too.
