*Celebrating a Milestone – 25 Years**
Twenty-five years ago, a vision to create a way for Londonderry residents to obtain local information led to the first issue of the Londonderry Times.
What began 25 years ago in the basement of the home of Chris and Deb Paul was a vision to create a way for residents to obtain local information and educate them on issues that led to the first issue of the Londonderry Times. Never losing touch with our roots or our mission to help the community stay informed about local happenings, support any causes that need attention, an unwavering commitment to focus on truth, and everything local.
Newspapers across the state are experiencing cutbacks to stay afloat, us included, and some have had to close, and all of this is disheartening for democracy and government accountability. The good news is the Londonderry Times, the flagship publication of Nutfield Publishing, LLC, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this week. Additionally, we are proud to announce that our newest addition, The Hudson Times, has completed its first year.
Our readers depend on us for accurate and truthful information presented in digestible bites, helping build a stronger sense of civicness and community.
As the saying goes, “With great power comes great responsibility”. We educate citizens about what is happening in their towns and encourage them to get involved and take action. This is no easy task to accomplish without taking a side just the facts, driven by our passion for community service. This commitment has often translated into meaningful actions, as residents have responded to stories about local issues and stepped up to fill service gaps.
As time passes, fewer people are aware of town events; participation dwindles, and apathy sets in. Many do not realize the value of a community newspaper until it is gone. The bottom line is providing a place for local residents to obtain the information the residents need about their community non-intrusively, whether it’s a school play or an update on how tax dollars are being spent the same as 25 years ago when we started. What’s going on in Concord, Washington, D.C., or abroad is available elsewhere, mostly online, but if it happens in one of our towns, you should expect to read about it in our newspapers, the heart of the town.
We hope you will continue to be part of the community connection we have forged between the Londonderry Times and Hudson Times and their readers. As we move forward into our next 25 years, we are excited to be a part of your life and the community.
We always like getting letters, and news tips, and give us a call or send us an email, we love hearing from you after all we’re here for you. There is no other place we would rather be than right here at home, bringing you the news from the place you call your own!
