A Message From 22nd Century Media Leadership<br />
An unshakable commitment to community<br />
There is no denying<br />
we are enduring a<br />
historic moment<br />
in time. The spread of the<br />
coronavirus is affecting our<br />
world and our community<br />
as we know them.<br />
We are all in this together.<br />
We cannot just say<br />
those words; we must live<br />
by them and act in their<br />
respect. And here at 22nd<br />
Century Media, we are<br />
working tirelessly with that<br />
goal in mind.<br />
We publish 15 newspapers<br />
(including the one you<br />
are reading) and news sites,<br />
as well as operate a number<br />
of community events<br />
and offer local marketing<br />
solutions. When the news<br />
reached a critical point two<br />
weeks ago, we let our employees<br />
know that while we<br />
serve an essential function<br />
in these trying times we<br />
needed to act in their best<br />
Warm Regards,<br />
interests as well. We offered<br />
for them to work remotely<br />
whenever they could and<br />
told them that if they felt<br />
ill in any way, please not to<br />
come into the office.<br />
Upon receiving the<br />
email, not one person<br />
exited the newsroom.<br />
News was coming in,<br />
and our journalists wanted<br />
to report it to you. Local<br />
businesses were in<br />
need, and our sales reps<br />
wanted to offer solutions.<br />
Our events director was<br />
rescheduling.<br />
Since that day, whether<br />
working in or away from<br />
the office, our staff has<br />
been dedicated to equip you<br />
with news, information and<br />
resources to help you and<br />
your loved ones navigate<br />
these uncertain times.<br />
That is our everyday<br />
goal for your community:<br />
To provide accessible and<br />
reliable information and resources.<br />
You deserve access<br />
to such information.<br />
It is a responsibility that<br />
we do not take lightly.<br />
There are many out there<br />
that may abuse that responsibility<br />
and through either<br />
negligence or immorality<br />
present inaccurate and<br />
unreliable information.<br />
Accuracy matters.<br />
Credibility matters. Your<br />
reality is affected by the<br />
news you receive. That is<br />
always at the forefront of<br />
our decision-making, and<br />
we are honored to be the<br />
trusted provider of your<br />
local news.<br />
In that vein, we have<br />
created a dedicated web<br />
page where you can find<br />
all our news related to the<br />
coronavirus, as well as<br />
local resources — such as<br />
how to help, where to get<br />
help, activities for children,<br />
health information and<br />
more — for you and your<br />
family. We have the latest<br />
news that directly affects<br />
your immediate health and<br />
wellness, as well as the<br />
uplifting stories that deliver<br />
hope.<br />
To support local business,<br />
we have also created<br />
a special Carryout and<br />
Delivery Directory, which<br />
is also free at Directory.<br />
22ndcenturymedia.com<br />
This dependable coverage<br />
is vital during these<br />
times. We thank our loyal<br />
subscribers who help fund<br />
this work, and for those<br />
who have not subscribed,<br />
we hope you see value<br />
in this information and<br />
consider supporting local<br />
journalists at NewLenoxPatriot.com/plus.<br />
Within the news feed,<br />
you will notice multiple<br />
stories of local businesses,<br />
residents and service<br />
groups doing what they can<br />
to help their community<br />
during this time. It is of the<br />
utmost importance that we<br />
support each other during<br />
this time. We have all heard<br />
how this virus will affect<br />
our health and wellness, but<br />
it will no doubt also have<br />
an effect on our livelihoods.<br />
To the extent of our<br />
means, we must support<br />
each other. Order carryout<br />
from a local restaurant.<br />
Take an online class.<br />
Choose a local grocer. We<br />
will emerge from this, and<br />
when we do, what kind<br />
of community will it be?<br />
That’s up to us.<br />
It is in times of crisis that<br />
true character is revealed,<br />
and we don’t know about<br />
you, but we think that our<br />
bond is stronger than any<br />
crisis, stronger than any<br />
virus.<br />
