Newz Group Announces Program to Help Rural Journalism

Local news is more important than ever in the face of COVID-19.

Newz Group Publishing Support Services is pleased to announce that they will be offering no cost E-Edition hosting for three months to any paper in America to support rural and community papers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Local journalism is the information backbone for many rural communities across America, and the pandemic has hit community newspapers hard as local advertising dollars dry up. Accurate information in small communities has never been more important, and we cannot let these publications disappear. We all need to do our bit in the face of COVID-19, and Newz Group is stepping up,” said Brad Buchanan, President of Newz Group.
