An invitation to our readers

Skye Pournazari Managing Editor

Hello readers,

As the new managing editor of the Maryville Daily Forum, I’d like to give you some insight into my mindset and history. Then I would like to ask for your help.

I’m new to this position and want to be as open as possible about it. I don’t know exactly what this position will throw at me, but I do know what I would like to do for our readers.

I want you, our readers, to find the newspaper to be a useful item in your daily lives. I want it to give you the scores from last night’s game, but also keep you informed about how the City Council is managing the business of your town.

I want to give you all the updated Northwest Missouri State University news we can, while also focusing on and not missing news from the Maryville R-II School District and those in the surrounding communities.

My main goal working at this newspaper is to deliver the most and best information we can. I want to provide the best news coverage we can give to you, the readers. I hope to inform but also entertain, and provide necessary information for you to succeed in your lives and feel informed.

Here is where I ask for your help.

What do you want to see? I’m new to this area and its happenings. I plan to move to the area and will learn, over time, how best to cover your news. However, I want to deliver what is most important to you now and I will need your help for that.

This is a call to anyone with a story, a thought about coverage or a concern about the newspaper. Please feel free to contact me for any reason you deem necessary. If it’s important to you, it is important to me. You can reach me by email: [email protected] or by phone at 660-562-2424 ext. 112. Of course, I’m always willing to meet with anyone personally here at the office 111 E. Jenkins St., Maryville.
