The newsroom blues

Stories in last week’s editions of the Berks-Mont Newspapers certainly ran the gamut.

From follow-ups on an alleged knife attack by a 13-year-old on four fellow students at Antietam Middle-Senior High School to the death of a West Lawn woman in the surf south of San Francisco to parents who became concerned about an overdue Oley school bus.

Sure the news is sometimes bad. But there were some bright spots too.

Take the uplifting story of a man traveling across the country in his covered wagon making a stop at Zern’s Farmer’s Market or the story of a Quakertown VFW that has decided to go smoke free.

Here at Berks-Mont Newspapers we are committed to being the primary source of news and information for all the communities we serve whether that news and information be good or bad.

Updates on our website now make it possible to bring you breaking news faster than ever before and our weekly newspapers bring you a wrap up and analysis of those stories just as they have faithfully for many years.

No matter what the story, we’ll tell you how it affects you and your community. So stay tuned…
