Oh No! Not ANOTHER Newspaper for Sark!
In a community the size of Sark it could easily be argued that news, information and opinions spread well enough to make printed information superfluous - but is that really so? Ideas and concerns are freely debated in the pubs, clubs, societies and even in the Avenue but a journal enables readers to explore a wider range of views. To make this work, a journal must publish a variety of opinions, some of which may occasionally be controversial, some may represent minority views, some may challenge the establishment, some may well conflict with the editor’s opinion. In short, a journal should reflect the views and opinions of its readers! It should reflect the society that it serves and therefore it must have a range of contributing writers - people who have news, opinions and information to share. The journal should shine a beacon of light on all shades of opinion With that in mind, I suggest Sark would benefit from an independent monthly newsletter that encourages contributions from groups, clubs, societies and individuals, from within our community and, maybe, from some visitors as well.
