We received 65 questionnaires hack, and the answers were, to say the least, enlightening We have found from reading over your responses that people want more news about county government, more c i ty news, more feature articles, more farm news and more editorials. More county news ranked number one on the requests, and as such the Gazette-Times Editor Sandy Holtz will he attending county court meetings every Wednesday on a regular basis. . In the city news department the Gazette has a regular Hcppncr city reporter, Avon Melby, she will continue to cover the Heppner city council and planning commission The news editor makes regular contact with the lone and Town o f Lexington councils to find out news there In an effort to include more club news in the paper, we arc also preparing a special form to send out to clubs in the area. The form w ill aid clubs and organizations in get ting their news into the paper If you belong to a club or organization ltx>k for them coming s«x>n In the feaTu?fcs department, we hope to have one per month, dealing with farm issues or local people of interest In the questionnaire we also asked if people felt news coverage in the paper was correct or inaccurate, and if the stories were clear or hard to understand Overall you rated us high in both these categories, a score we at the paper very much like to sec. since a newspaper's credibility and readability are very. I will say it again, very important Once again, we appreciate those who took the time to turn in the questionnaire, and will use the information as part o f our efforts to continue working to bring you a bet tor (¡-T .
