 50 YEARS: OUR STORY
The Spinal Column Newsweekly, with 2009, is marking its 50th year publishing
in the west Oakland County area.

The communities have changed and matured, as has our local newspaper.
We now produce a full-color weekly news product with a strong on-line
compliment at spinalcolumnonline.com. We have expanded our
communications group into other print products, like Oakland Lakefront
magazine, the MonthlyAdvertiser, Preferred Oakland Homes and Oakland
Homes magazines, along with a number of other websites.

But we continue all these years later to provide the communities we serve
with an essential news product, the Spinal Column Newsweekly, that allows
for informed local residents.

Our role as a provider of essential news and advertising information has

remained unchanged, along with our commitment to the communities and
residents of west Oakland.

It is the reason local residents continue to turn first to the Spinal Column
Newsweekly.

COMMITMENT. INNOVATION.
