Somers Paper Nautilus Mission Statement
At this stage in the development of our seaside village of
Somers, it seems a good time to start a community newspaper. The
purpose of a community newspaper is to connect the various groups
and individuals in our township and give them an avenue of
expression.
This may be in the form of:
* Information – eg News relevant to Somers and the surrounding
area
* Creative endeavour – eg Personal Stories, essays poems, short
stories, art, photography
* Letters – We aim for inclusiveness and openness, catering for
a diversity of views without
rancour.
The paper will not be a vehicle for party political or any other
organisations. However we want people to feel free to express
opinions on matters that concern them (for example; environment,
the roads, public transport or anything else relevant to our
community).
The editorial committee will collect, compile, edit and produce
the paper with the help of an outer group of associates. All
are volunteers.
Final decisions are to be made by the editorial committee
members. The editors reserve the right to edit for legal
reasons or issues of space. The main concern is that the
Nautilus should be informative, communicative, interesting, and
enjoyable to read and become an indispensable part of Somers
life.
To fund the newspaper the Nautilus will carry ads for local
trades people, craftspeople, professionals, artists etc. at
competitive rates.
