It was a good year for the South Brunswick Post, and now we want you to help us improve in 2001.
With the end of another year and 2001 already upon us, many people are looking for ways to improve themselves during the upcoming 12 months.
At the South Brunswick Post, it’s not much different. We will be searching for ways to improve and to better serve you, our readers.
It is not a task we can undertake alone. We value the input of our readers and we will continue to work at strengthening the bond between the newspaper and the communities it serves.
During 2000, we at the South Brunswick Post continued its commitment to excellence its efforts to be a community newspaper in the truest sense of the word. The Post, which won the General Excellence Award during the New Jersey Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest, continued working closely with the schools during our continuing school page feature and provided thorough reporting and analysis of key events in town.
We also introduced "Class Act," a semi-regular feature spotlighting outstanding teachers in the district. The projects would not be possible without the input and support of community members. Similar regular features, such as The Viking Post, highlight the talents and insights of local students.
It is our belief that a community newspaper should involve the community. We urge you to join us in making the South Brunswick Post an even stronger voice for local residents.
