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