Our newspaper is a news service
The measure of our success is the number and variety of local news items we publish, not the number of pages.
This issue again has 12 pages, but what is important is the news it contains.
It has 56 articles, as did the two other 12-page editions in the last six weeks.
For most of its 23-year history, Peninsula News has had about this number of articles in each issue - even though they were mostly 32-page papers.
We have been able to achieve this in fewer pages now because we are a voluntary non-profit community group, operating with a lower advertising ratio.
Our lower number of pages may not be good news for people wanting to line their pet trays, but it is good news for those interested in reading news about the Peninsula - and in saving trees in the process.
However, it does mean that we do not have time to produce our electronic supplement, the EXTRA. The extra articles are still published on our website.
To keep the news coming in a 12-page edition, we do need advertisements, sponsorship, donations and voluntary help.
Please support Peninsula News. Every little bit counts.
