We are so proud of the work S.C. newspapers have done to share credible, timely news and information about Hurricane Helene and the impact the storm has had on our state.
We’ve heard from most members in impacted areas, who report they are safe and doing their best despite challenges.
Nearly all SCPA members were able to print and distribute newspapers this week, as well as utilize their websites and social media to share critical information with the community. Many did this without power and internet, in addition to navigating roads with downed trees and power lines.
We’ve heard stories of collaboration, sharing resources and other ways our members and S.C. communities have come together during this time of crisis.
We know these challenges are far from over for many SCPA members, but hang in there. As the trusted source of news in your area, the coverage you’re doing is vital.
Thank you for your unwavering commitment to connecting your community, serving your neighbors and sharing important, local journalism to towns and cities across our state.
Keep up the good work… your community depends on it.
