The Shawnee News-Star is excited to unveil a new initiative that puts the spotlight on our community’s diverse voices and ideas. The “Community Conversation Initiative” is set to change the way we connect, discuss, and collaborate with our community in a new and meaningful way.
INTRODUCTION:
In our continuous commitment to serving the community, CherryRoad (the parent Company of The Shawnee News-Star), is proud to introduce an innovative series of conversations with key figures from local government, county government, law enforcement, business and development, and education. This initiative aims to ask the same five questions to each of those community leaders, to improve the breadth and depth of our understanding of our [Community name] needs most from us.
WHY COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS MATTER:
As we launch this initiative, we believe that meaningful discussions are the cornerstone of a thriving community. From pressing challenges to innovative solutions, we designed our “5 Questions/5 Answers” series to foster a deeper understanding of our community’s dynamics, bringing to light the stories, initiatives, and goals that matter most to you.
YOUR VOICE MATTERS:
The Community Conversation Initiative isn’t just about asking questions; it’s about listening to you, whether you read our newspaper or not. We invite you to be a part of this endeavor by watching our interviews and then taking our online survey so you can share your perspectives and let us hear your voice.
HOW IT WORKS:
Our team has put together a set of questions, addressing everything from current challenges to future aspirations. The News-Star will ask these questions to community leaders across various sectors, so we can look at these issues from different perspectives.
GET INVOLVED:
Stay tuned as we kick off the “5 Questions, 5 Answers” series, where we ask five community leaders the same five questions. Beginning soon, those interviews will appear weekly on news-star.com. To find the interviews, simply look for our “Conversations” category on the front page of our website.
The Shawnee News-Star believes that a vibrant community starts with open conversations. Join us on this exciting journey as we amplify local voices, embrace diverse perspectives, and build a stronger, more connected community together.
