DUNWOODY, Ga. — Two dozen people attended Appen Press Club’s first stop on its 2024 “Listening Tour” January 18th at Dunwoody Tavern.
Members of Appen Media’s newsroom made themselves available to the public to listen to feedback from readers and talk about what they would like to see more of in their local newspaper.
The Dunwoody Crier has been serving the Dunwoody community since 1977 and is currently delivered to 18,000 homes weekly. It also serves as the legal organ for the City of Dunwoody, which means that it publishes all of the City’s legal notices about public meeting dates, tax dollar allocation and rezoning of property.
Newsroom staff also fielded questions about what and how news makes the print editions of the newspaper, how it resolves conflicts of interest, and the parameters for its public safety coverage.
Said Appen Media Publisher Hans Appen, “We greatly appreciate the opportunity the citizens of Dunwoody provided us to give us constructive feedback on how we’re doing. We thought it was a productive and worthwhile experience and we promise to be back soon.”
The next stop on the listening tour is in Roswell at From the Earth Brewery Company on February 15th. The event is free to attend and open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to RSVP at www.appenmedia.com/join.
