Central City News Resumes Weekly Aug. 11

Back-to-School Edition Set for Aug. 11, While Football Preview Will Be Published on Sept. 1

CENTRAL — The Central City News will resume weekly publication every Thursday beginning Aug. 11.  Weekly publication will continue through Dec. 22, 2011.  There will be no Central City News on Dec. 29, 2011.  Then in January 2012, we will resume twice monthly publication on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month.  On Aug. 9, 2012, we will resume weekly publication once again.

This schedule allows us to publish weekly when there is more happening (i.e., opening of school and football season) from August through December and twice monthly when there’s not as much going on.

This year has been a very busy year for us, because we launched a new national publication, Liberty Today, a national conservative newspaper.  With our nation in such a crisis, we wanted to try to have an impact on the direction of things, in order to help return to our roots of traditional values, individual rights,  limited government, balanced budgets, and a strong defense.

So far, Liberty Today has gotten a warm reception.  Our circulation is up to 19,500 a month in print and the on-line version of the print edition.

What is really amazing is Liberty Today on Facebook.  We launched on Facebook only six weeks ago, and the response has been overwhelming.  In the past 30 days alone, we have had 1,015,913 articles read on Facebook and received 14,978 comments.

To read Liberty Today free of charge, go to www.liberty-today.com.  There you will find our website with lots of articles and information and also the print edition.

I urge you to “Like” Liberty Today on Facebook.  I think you’ll find it an excellent source of national news — a mix of coverage that you won’t find anywhere else.

I must say I resisted Facebook a long time.  That’s because I completely misunderstood it.  I thought of Facebook as the crazy personal attacks and back and forth on some of the sites in Central.  But Facebook for you doesn’t have to be like that at all.

There are different levels of privacy.  You can post a photo or not.  People can see you or not.  You can “Like” a site or not.  It’s all up to you.

Back in 1964 when I was a newsman at radio station WLCS, we had a teletype machine from the Associated Press.  It clicked out the latest news.  That’s the way Central City News is on Facebook and that’s how Liberty Today is on Facebook — a source of local news and national news.  I’m writing a lot of news stories and columns on Facebook that you won’t find in the print edition of Central City News or in Liberty Today.  Check them out.  I think you’ll enjoy them and find it all a lot different from what you may think.
