We have much to be thankful for this year. For starters, we are grateful for the outpouring of support to the Joplin community. If you drive through Joplin nearly 18 months later, you will see businesses openings, students back to school in new buildings, and a sense of "new normalcy" for our southwest Missouri community that lost so much in the tornado.
We had our premiere film festival screening last week! We are ever so grateful to the St. Louis International Film Festival for hosting our film. St. Louisans came out last Thursday to support our film, producers, and Joplin Globe Reporters Emily Younker and Wally Kennedy, who attended our screening at Plaza Frontenac Cinema.
Thanks to all of you who have attended our film screenings around the state, read our web postings, and for subscribing and reading your community newspaper! Your subscription keeps our industry alive and healthy, and allows newspaper to do what we do best!
A final, much worthy note to mention! This week we learned that The Joplin Globe is the recipient of the 2012 “Newspaper of the Year” award from the Local Media Association, a national trade organization that represents more than 2,000 of the leading suburban and community newspapers. Congratulations to the incredible staff of The Globe who publish one of the finest daily newspapers! We are so proud of our friends at The Joplin Globe! Read all about it here...
