- There's been a lot of positive feedback about the idea of a Marysville paper. What sorts of "columns" might be beneficial? Here's a list for further iteration:#
- - Civics. Schools aren't teaching this anymore anyway, ha. This could include exposition and commentary on the Constitution as well as WA RCWs and local laws. Think more The Federalist Papers and less Fox News.#
- - Coming Events. If not a calendar, at least some highlights of good cultural things. Since I saw it years ago, I've always liked the Live in Everett site.#
- - Things to Do. Sort of like coming events, but more the trails and sites that we live among but typically don't go see. #
- - Business Highlight. Tell a story about a local shop. This wouldn't be a paid advertisement, but it would be good exposure. #
- - How To. Rather than just another source for consuming, this section could host a variety of tips for crafting, gardening, cooking/recipes. #
- - Funnies. Maybe find some community cartoon drawers? #
- - Letters to the Editor. I mean, why not print feedback? Criticism can be constructive, and encouragement is, well, encouraging. #
- - State Politics and National News. I've put these at the end; local first is still the point, while acknowledging that local isn't the only point. #
- UPDATE (after some replies on Facebook): #
- - Job Postings. Those hiring, those wanting to be hired. #
- - Games. Crosswords, puzzles (which, TBF, is really my wheelhouse).#
- - Weather.#
- - Reviews. Movies (old and new), music, books, etc.#
