Behind the scene.
Community news blogs dependent on volunteers often fade away. And Sunapee News came close to fading away on more than one occasion. It is now re-engaged.
The RESOURCES page is new. Let us know what you think, and if you have listings to add.
The LOCAL ‘N GLOBAL page is on the drawing board. Help wanted: curator/designer to help re-define its look and scope.
Launched in the summer of 2008, shortly after a local weekly folded, Sunapee News set out to help fill the information gap and foster conversation around local issues. It happens one article at a time. As of April 1, 2012, the count will be over 900 articles published and 100s of photos. The goal is to add interesting content on a weekly basis.
Contributing writers, bloggers and photographers, hopefully, will make this possible.
Good News. Bad News.
You know the saying.
The good news is your contributions are still welcome and needed. The bad news is your contributions are still welcome and needed for Sunapee News to continue.

The existence and exchange of information is as vital to the healthy functioning of communities as clean air, safe streets, and good schools. If the news and information environment is in trouble, so is civic life. When a community lacks accurate and timely information, it is neither truly free nor able address the problems it faces.
Many of our community challenges are exacerbated when information on the issues we care about doesn’t exist, or if people can’t easily access or engage and share that information.- From the Knight Community Information Tool Kit (http://www.infotoolkit.org/)
