To the Editor:

I am visiting from Boston and picked up the Sept. 28 Citizen. I absolutely love the paper and think you do an amazing job covering everything from a girls’ soccer team to a break-in at Town Hall.

The neighborhood columns are wonderful and something we used to find in newspapers but not anymore — except in Bethel.
The Citizen is weekly proof of the value of community journalism and a reminder of what we are losing across the country with the closure of one small paper after another. Keep up the good work.

I look forward to picking up the Citizen on my next trip to Bethel.
