Mission

To strengthen our community by providing local news and stories that transform readers into neighbors.

Core values

• The Bugle is community driven and values “community connections” (that is: providing the news and information that enable people in our area to connect with one another).
• The Bugle is committed to inclusivity, equity and presenting diverse voices in our stories.
• The Bugle is committed to objective reporting.
• The Bugle honors our history and embraces the future.

Vision

We’re fortunate to live among neighbors who care about the community we live in. We have strong businesses and institutions with long histories.

The Bugle is part of the legacy of our community. For over 40 years we have been sharing the stories of the people who live and work in our community. As the digital age sweeps through our lives, we envision the Bugle combining timely digital content with the timelessness of a newspaper that can be read at one’s leisure.

The Bugle continually shares news and information and seeks opportunities to build partnerships with local resources. The Bugle is the hub where staff and volunteers with a passion for our community work together to create timely, quality journalism with a neighborly voice.
