The Equity to Expand to 16 Pages, Adding Student Voices Feature

Big news is around the corner at The Equity.

Later this fall, we will be expanding the paper to 16 pages, up from our current 12. This milestone represents a full doubling of the paper’s size over the past year—and it is all thanks to the incredible support from both readers and advertisers across the Pontiac.

To keep everything easy to navigate, we will be reorganizing the paper into two distinct sections. Section A will hold all your essential local news and regional coverage, while Section B will become the new home for our community features. Chatting with so many of you during the Shawville Fair reminded us just how much you love features like The Way We Were and our weekly crossword, so Section B will give those favourites plenty of room to grow.

We are also launching a brand-new feature that we are especially excited about: Youth Voices of the Pontiac. We are teaming up with local high schools across the region to help students craft multimedia content, ranging from written stories and photography to video and audio. You will get to see their work and unique local perspectives featured regularly right inside the pages of The Equity.

While others in the newspaper industry pull back, we have proven that you can grow both an online audience and a print audience at the same time without sacrificing one for the other.

Thank you for reading, sharing your feedback, and growing along with us. Keep an eye out for our bigger edition coming your way later this season!
