Welcome to your new community newspaper

All Mantua news, only Mantua news

By TIM RONALDSON
The Sun

Welcome to your hometown newspaper, The Mantua Sun.

And when I say “your” newspaper, I mean it.

The Sun will be delivered to you every week. Inside, you will find, to a great degree, what you want to read about. We will cover the basics — government, the schools, etc. — but, throughout our history, we’ve found that giving our readers the opportunity to shape the content of their paper works well for all.

What you won’t find is national and international news that is already available on the Internet, or news from surrounding towns. The Mantua Sun is all about Mantua, and only Mantua.

The Sun is published by Newspaper Media Group. The Sun Newspapers began when we launched The Haddonfield Sun, a free community newspaper, in August 2004.

Since then, we have added newspapers in Moorestown, Cherry Hill, Voorhees, Medford, Marlton, Mt. Laurel, Shamong, Tabernacle, Palmyra, Cinnaminson, Burlington Township, Berlin, Sicklerville, Washington Township and Mullica Hill.

There’s another story in this edition about how you can submit articles, letters, photos and the like for publication. Here, though, I’d like to explain a bit about our philosophy and what kinds of submissions we really appreciate.

Our goal has always been to not only cover the traditional news, but to also allow communities to celebrate their individual and collective achievements.

That’s why, inside of our newspapers and on our websites, you’ll read stories about students collecting items for the needy, local businesspeople who have achieved recognition and more. The news, as we all know, isn’t always good. But when someone does something special, he or she deserves time in the spotlight.

You’ll see letters to the editor, calendar listings, obituaries and other regular items. In general, what we publish is what you tell us to publish and/or send us to publish.

Associate Editor Sean Devlin is leading our coverage efforts in Mantua and is the person to contact with story ideas, questions or suggestions.

He can be reached at (856) 270–6835. Sending an email to [email protected] works, too.

Over time, we’ll (hopefully) do most things right, but occasionally make mistakes or miss a story. When that happens, feel free to contact either Sean or me.

We know we can’t make everyone happy all of the time, but we will remain true to our commitment to having our readers shape their newspaper.

I hope that you enjoy The Sun and take an active role in helping us publish the important news about the people, places and events that make Mantua a special place to live.

Working together, we’ll have a publication that is true to the culture and spirit of this community.

Tim Ronaldson is editor in chief of The Sun. He can be reached at [email protected] or (856) 528–4993.
