While this may not be considered headline news, we are proud to announce that Bates County Live is making application and hope soon to become a member of the Missouri Press Association.
The guidelines for a regular membership require that you be in business for at least three years (we've been at it 13 months) so we plan to apply for the 'Friend of Missouri Press Association' membership and then will upgrade to a full membership when we reach our third birthday.
The primary reason for joining is to reinforce our pledge to provide accurate, honest, strait forward news with the credibility and resources of the MPA behind us.
In the meantime, we will continue to do what we love- providing the news.
Sincerely,
Doug Mager, Editor
Bates County Live
