Dear Community Members,

I am very excited to inform you of a new newspaper being introduced in the Cabot area. The New Paper is to be a free, not for profit newspaper for Cabot and surrounding areas with a starting circulation of 1,000 and an amazing web presence. We are proud to have the support and excitement of the Cabot Coalition and Cabot School as well as several local businesses. We are working hard now and as of March 1 we will begin distribution of the new paper. This paper will exclusively cover Cabot and surrounding towns.

Our vision for this newspaper will be a unique blend that is unlike any before seen in this area. A citizen based media source with community communication in mind, we will publish once a month, covering local issues. Everything from local politics and current “hot” topics as well as human interest and arts coverage can be found here. This paper will be the place to find out where to see the hottest band on a Friday night or take the children for a weekend outing. We will appeal to local artists, bikers, and twenty year olds, as well as older life-long Vermonters, tourists, gardeners, students or political aficionados. This will be everyone’s paper.

This new paper has already generated excitement in its proposed coverage area and we are sure to become popular quickly. Because we are a free publication we have a higher likelihood of being picked up and read than a paper that must be bought and paid for. Because we are local we will appeal to the local readership. Because it covers topics of interest to everyone, it will be picked up and read.

This is where you come in. You have a chance to speak out with us in our premier issue. We would like to hear from you regarding local news.

I hope to hear from you regarding any article ideas or submissions. Please feel free to contact me at the numbers above.

Sincerely,


Allison Joyal- Editor
Cabot Media – Newspaper (as of yet unnamed)
