(Message from Ben Ledbetter, Publisher)
As we come to the end of this year’s Thanksgiving Holidays, the Jackson Parish Journal JPJ) wants you to know how much the residents and local business community of Jackson Parish are appreciated and how thankful I, as publisher of the JPJ, am for your support.
Words can’t express how much gratitude is felt for the residents and business community of Jackson Parish, who continue to support the JPJ so that all the current news, events, sports, activities, and people related to our beloved parish and local communities can be brought with each Sunday and Wednesday edition.
In April of 2020, following the demise of the Jackson Independent, the opportunity arose to begin publishing an online digital media newspaper. Since the humble beginnings of one advertising sponsor and 18 viewers, according to the statistics provided by the Jackson Parish Journal website and Facebook, the JPJ was viewed over 500,000 times during the month of November alone. (426.3 K – Facebook, 81.8K – JPJ website)
This would not be possible without the support of the residents of Jackson Parish, and the tremendous response received by the local business community, who have provided support through advertising, which allows the JPJ to be viewed FREE OF CHARGE.
As the JPJ nears a mark of 10,000 articles being posted (currently at 9,696), all being focused on local happenings over the five-plus years of the publication, the pledge is to continue to be the voice of Jackson Parish, but that can only happen with your continued contribution of content and related viewership.
You are also asked to show our advertisers that they are appreciated and getting the return on investment they deserve by signing up for the free JPJ email edition and joining the JPJ Facebook page. Without them, there is no Jackson Parish Journal.
So here is to a bright future, and thank you again for your viewership, sponsorship, and support.
