It’s all about you!

In order for the Central St. Croix News to thrive, we must serve our community as a critical voice and point of local conversation. Our area is served by the New Richmond News, which is owned by Forum Communications Company out of Fargo, North Dakota, the same parent company that also serves Hudson and River Falls. They produce fine newspapers that serve their communities well. Roberts and Hammond are on the fringe of their service area. We at CSCN believe that there is an essential place for a locally owned and operated newspaper that can serve the Roberts and Hammond area and our St Croix Central Schools like no other paper can. We will be “Your Good Neighbor in the Heart of St. Croix County.”
To assure our place in the community, we will initially focus on two key things: covering our St. Croix Central Schools like no other and engaging the community. We will share Faces and Places, Gatherings and Events. We will report those stories and events meaningful to you. We will look for the local twist on county, state, national and international events. We will engage those people who are involved in all corners of our communities. We look to build a network of contributors to serve as our eyes and ears in and around our communities. We want those perspectives you can’t glean from the official minutes.
If Location, Location, Location is the key for real estate, Names, Names, Names is the key to community newspapers. You will see more local names and faces than ever before. Through our website, www.centralstcroixnews.com, we will bring those faces we don’t have room to share in the paper. You will be able to see your friends and neighbors and order a print or digital file. Our website will evolve to become a vital point of information and conversation for our Central St. Croix community. We anticipate maintaining a community calendar, photo galleries of events and places where you can share an idea, opinion or thought. We will provide all the things you need to know.
Across the country big daily newspapers are failing, and local weekly community newspapers are challenged with the tight economic times. However, over 80% of weekly newspapers are actually read in their community. As readership increases through subscriptions, advertisers will trust us to deliver their messages to the community.
Central St. Croix News will focus on you.
