Online newspapers can be a major boon to your business and community. They offer distinctive opportunities not found in traditional papers.
- Don't want to miss regional community events? Anywhere there's Internet access you can read about them online.
- Have a small story that couldn't compete for the space of big headlines? Email it to a local online newspaper.
- Looking for affordable advertising? A regional online newspaper often publishes advertising free.*
- Want your opinion published: Online newspapers include blogs that circulate viewpoints.
The foundation of the good life in small communities is integrated with events: The good news and the tragedies, weddings and funerals, farmer's markets, fundraisers and school activities -- the high point of efforts by a multitude of individuals and groups.
The camaraderie shared by families and friends at events that engage newcomers and old-timers alike forms the very core of the rural life we cherish. Also, the financial gains to charities, or benefits to local schools, depend on the circulation of news.
- Do you have a story? A business addition? New staff? New location? New baby? An upcoming event to announce? A wedding? A celebration? A funeral?
- Want to share something that happened in your area?
- Feature a special person? Interesting place?
- Do you have an opinion to air?
- Are you a visitor and want to share your experience?
That's the news readers can expect in The North Palouse Washington e-Newscast, the free online newspaper for this rural region: www.palousenewscast.com. It's the modern version of the region's word of mouth culture.

The North Palouse Washington e-Newscast augments the Latah Eagle and Boomerang, which in July 2009 merged The Palouse Boomerang and the Latah Eagle, two J&H Publications, Inc., papers. I miss the personal closeness I felt with my community when I read The North Palouse Journal. When it ceased publication we no longer knew about events. The North Palouse Washington e-Newscast is renewing that connection.
A regular monthly column, Fun Events On The Palouse compiles date, time, and location of upcoming events from all available sources and publishes a printable guide. Announcements follow as the date approaches.
