Local News,
of the Time
Did you know that the majority of the local hometown news printed each week within The Village Reporter cannot be read, heard or watched anywhere else? You can flip through regional television channels, search websites online, listen to the radio, enjoy coffee talk at a local restaurant, or even dig through larger daily newspapers but even if you had enough time to do all this, you would still miss the majority of your hometown news!
