SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER!

Mountain View News Saturday, July 4, 2020

Please help us save your weekly newspaper! The National
Emergency has had an immediate adverse impact on the future
of the Mountain Views News. (www.mtnviewsnews.com )

Since 2006, I have been publishing a weekly newspaper in
the San Gabriel Valley specifically covering the cities of Sierra
Madre, Arcadia, Monrovia, Duarte, Pasadena, and also
South Pasadena, Altadena and San Marino. This effort has
been financially challenging primarily due to the nature of
publishing and because of a 40% tariff on newsprint that was
imposed in 2018 and is still in affect.

We have survived primarily on the paper's ability to publish
legal notices and the support of our advertisers many of
whom are also impacted by the COVID19 virus. However,
that has all changed. We were informed mid-March that the
County of Los Angeles closed all public access to buildings
that process legal notices. Such action, while absolutely necessary
means that the income generated from the publication
of the notices has come to an abrupt halt. Without the
ability to publish legal notices, continued publication of the
Mountain Views News is not possible.

With your help, however, we can sustain the only paper
where your community news comes first until such time as
an alternative to the current legal notice processing is found
or LA County Buildings allow public access again.

Remember, print media is the only source of information
that CANNOT BE HACKED! What you read in the Mountain
Views News is accurate and as publisher, I stand behind
every word. Our sources are reliable and dependable. Our
Opinions share both sides of the argument. Community
events and local organization activities are also an integral
part of what we provide each week. And, while we do have
an online presence, each week thousands of print copies are
distributed.

Below are 4 ways that you can help sustain your local paper.
All support is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
