Almost a year ago, the staff of Macon Sense and its nonprofit board took a leap of faith to offer the community a new publication.
From that first edition to edition #26, published on Sept. 26, we have been barraged by only positive comments from Macon County and Franklin’s leaders, long-time citizens, area newbies, and passers-through. People anticipate our free bi-weekly publication, often exclaiming in the affirmative when we are delivering papers and asking for a hot-off-the-presses copy.
We have received letters praising our quality content that delves into “Your Community, Your Stories,” and we have been complimented for our bipartisan, objective journalism style. Writers, including Franklin High School students, are regularly lauded for their professionalism, accuracy, and thoroughness.
And, so far, Macon Sense has received two awards. While, I feel like I can speak for the staff in noting that it is no easy task managing, selling, editing, writing, designing, proofing, and distributing a newspaper (to 58 locations), Macon Sense’s positive impact on the community absolutely makes the workload worth it. If ever you miss our printed editions, read individual articles or the paper in its entirety online at www.maconsense.com.
Enjoy this 1-year anniversary issue!
