What can Inside Joplin mean for this area?

What can Inside Joplin mean for this area?

-Comprehensive news about about our schools from kindergarten through college, both locally and on the state and federal levels.

-A closer examination of how our tax money is being spent by people with years of experience in investigative reporting

-Well-written informative columns by people who actually have something to say

-A focus on the hard working people whose contributions frequently go unsung

-Photos and videos of local news

-Free obituaries, engagement announcements, anniversaries and wedding stories

If you are tired of seeing important local news being ignored or mishandled, you have an opportunity to help bring in a new day for Joplin.

Quite simply, just like any venture, the more we are able to raise during this opening time, the more comprehensive coverage we will be able to offer from the moment Inside Joplin launches next month. If you think Joplin needs a new voice, one that will report both on the good and bad things that go on in our community without playing favorites, now is the time to make that voice as strong as possible right from the outset.

If you are comfortable with the Joplin Globe being the only voice in the community, that is your choice. If you are looking for a choice and a news operation that believes in truly being a watchdog for the people, both in our news coverage and in our commentary, then please feel free to contribute whatever you think Inside Joplin is worth to you.

The information on how to contribute can be found at the accompanying link. For those who do not want to use PayPal or credit cards, send me a message and how I will tell you how you can contribute.

 Inside Joplin will launch next month- the impact we will be able to make is up to our readers.
