What is a newspaper?

What is a newspaper? It is a physical, nearly every-day print phenomenon and it is a spot in cyberspace, with important information being shared on each medium. But it is other things beyond the tangible.• It is a masthead, a promise of strong and sturdy reporting. A masthead that in our case, goes back hundreds of years.• It is a part of the fabric of a community, a connector and defender of a corner of the world, a watchdog, a cheerleader, a reflector.• It is a collection of employees dedicated to a craft. It's both our current team, and all the employees who came before this moment in time. It's also those who will come in the future. Nothing gets done without each of these people, but thenewspaper is greater than any one person.• And it is a physical location, a spot where employees gather and the community is welcomed into. Yes, a newspaper is all of these things, and likely more. It's both tangible and abstract. Both a physical good and an ideal. As our history continues to unfurl, we want to make our readership aware of some changes with the Reflector. To the end of the last bullet point, our physical location is soon changing as we are moving out of our location at 34 E. Main St.Our reporting team is going to continue to bring you local coverage, we just will not have a physical office in Norwalk starting May 27. Some points of clarity. We're still a newspaper — the newspaper — in Huron County. We'll still publish five days a week plus the Saturday combined Weekender with the Sandusky Register. Our editorial team is mostly working remote, going to to the places and talking to the people who make this place special. You'll still be able to make payments, purchase ads or talk to someone in person if you prefer. The Sandusky Register building is staffed from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day, with a one-hour close between 1 and 2. You'll still be able to do all of that too through the phone:• If you'd like to talk to someone about your subscription, call 567-743-9843 ext. 319843.• If you'd like to talk to someone about display ads, call 440-315-5491.• If you'd like to talk to someone in the news department, call 704.777.2345.If you prefer email, we'll be quick to get back to you.• To talk to someone about your subscription, email circulation@sanduskyregister.com.• To talk to someone about advertising, email advertising@tandemnetwork.com. • To talk to someone about news, email editor Brian Gott at briangott@tandemnetwork.com, reporter Angela LaRosa atalarosa@tandemnetwork or sports editor Mark Hazelwood at markhazelwood@norwalkreflector.com. While we apologize for the distraction that comes from changing our physical location, we stand committed to providing quality reporting and marketing solutions in the Norwalk and Huron County area for many years to come. Thank you for supporting the Norwalk Reflector and we hope we continue to earnyour loyalty. We are proud to be a newspaper and the Reflector of our community.
