Finally..... after 5 years as a 'hybrid' as the Missouri Press calls it, the News-Shopper is all grown up as we have officially combined it with the Rich Hill Mining Review to form one new regional newspaper.
First, we want it to be as familiar as possible starting with the name: We took bits from the news-Xpress, Mid America Live and the Rich Hill Mining Review to come up with the official name, the Mid America news-Review. Before we go any further, we would like to insure our Rich Hill Mining Review readers that we will continue to serve you well and hopefully exceed your expectations.
The Mid America news-Review is a fully legal, official publication as required by the Missouri Press Association. And starting next week, May 7th, it will be available for pick up all throughout the region at the same locations the News-Shopper is now.
Likewise, all current subscribers of the Rich Hill Mining review, as well as those subscribed to the News-Shopper, will get a copy in the mail as usual. One of the many goals in this project is to help insure that subscribers get their paper in a timely manner and our new mailing method should certainly help with that.
In terms of the Mid America Live website, we're going to touch it up a little but everything else will stay the same as we focus on the corridor roughly between Rich Hill and Harrisonville as well as continuing to push further East and West to better serve those in the fringes of Cass, Vernon, St. Clair, Henry, Linn and Miami counties.
Currently the News-Shopper and Mid America Live combined reach readers about 100,000 times a week and we believe it'll only get better from here.
All we can say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to our loyal advertisers and readers, it simply wouldn't work without you.
PS- The first edition of the Mid America news-Review coming next week will be a 32 page whopper that will include a very special insert along with some other goodies.
One more time, thank you!
