Do you think that is a good list of the biggest news stories of the year for northeastern Bartholomew County? Do you think there are things we missed that should have been covered?
To be honest, I really rely on readers like you to tell me what you think we should be writing about. Although I have more than 15 years of news experience in Columbus and Bartholomew County, I need to know more about Hope and the news you think is important here. This website is very much YOUR community news, funded by Heritage of Hope and your generous donations. And that means, I basically work for you -- to help keep you, your friends and your neighbors up to date on what is happening in this corner of the world.
You can let me know of any news tips, suggestions or just general thoughts about the site by emailing me at [email protected].[[In-content Ad]]
