Calling all community voices: Join the Hometown News advisory committee

At Hometown News, we’ve always believed that the best stories come from the heart of the community. Now, we’re inviting you to help shape the stories we tell by joining our newly formed advisory committee.

As an advisory committee member, you’ll play a key role in identifying important local issues, providing feedback on stories that matter, and ensuring Hometown News reflects the voices and values of our readers.

What’s the Role of the Advisory Committee?

The board will meet quarterly to:

  • Share insights and ideas for story topics.
  • Offer feedback on our print and digital content.
  • Ensure our reporting remains fair, accurate, and locally relevant.
  • Act as ambassadors for the community, connecting us with new ideas and voices.

Whether you’re a business owner, teacher, artist, or long-time resident, your unique perspective will make a difference. Previous experience in journalism is welcome, but not necessary. We are looking for people with a passion for your community and a desire to make it better.

Why Join?

This is your chance to ensure the stories that matter most to you and your neighbours are being told. By joining the Hometown News advisory committee, you’ll help us:

  • Spotlight local events, challenges, and triumphs.
  • Be part of the future of journalism – both in print and online.
  • Strengthen the bond between Hometown News and its readers.

How to Apply

Interested? Send us a brief bio that includes your connection to the community, your interests, and why you’d like to join. Applications can be sent to the publisher, Patricia Krotki at  pmkrotki@pdgmedia.ca 

The deadline for submissions is March 7, 2025.

Be Part of the Story

Hometown News is more than a newspaper; it’s a reflection of the people and places that make this region special. Help us keep it that way by joining our advisory committee. 

Together, we can ensure that the news we report is truly by the community, for the community.
