Please help us save your weekly newspaper! The National Emergency has had an immediate adverse impact on the future of the Mountain Views News. www.mtnviewsnews.com
Since 2006, I have been publishing a weekly newspaper in the San Gabriel Valley specifically covering the cities of Sierra Madre, Arcadia, Monrovia, Duarte, Pasadena, and also South Pasadena, Altadena and San Marino. This effort has been financially challenging primarily due to the nature of publishing and because of a 40% tariff on newsprint that was imposed in 2018 and is still in affect.
We have survived primarily on the paper's ability to publish legal notices and the support of our advertisers many of whom are also impacted by the COVID19 virus.
However, that has all changed. We were informed this morning that the County of Los Angeles is now closing all public access to buildings that process legal notices. Such action, while absolutely necessary means that the income generated from the publication of the notices has come to an abrupt halt. Without the ability to publish legal notices, continued publication of the Mountain Views News is not possible.
With your help, however, we can sustain the only paper where your community news comes first until such time as an alternative to the current legal notice processing is found or LA County Buildings allow public access again.
It is not an easy thing to reach out to the public for support, however, this is truly an emergency. The Mountain Views News needs your support now to weather this storm.
Remember, print media is the only source of information that CANNOT BE HACKED! What you read in the Mountain Views News is accurate and as publisher, I stand behind every word.
Our sources are reliable and dependable. Our Opinions share both sides of the argument. Community events and local organization activities are also an integral part of what we provide each week. And, while we do have an online presence, each week thousands of print copies are distributed to all 8 cities. In fact, had it not been for the tariffs, in 2018 our plan was to double our distribution as the demand for more print copies is great.
So can you please help us keep the Mountain Views News in circulation? Your donation will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
