As the United States faces the worst public health crisis in a generation, we want you to know we are here for you — and with you.
Whatever happens, whenever it happens, your newspaper will be there for you. We’ll be there to let you know how our community is managing through this crisis — from business to government to the health care system and schools to the drastic impact on individuals and families.
And we’ll be there to let you know about the good and extraordinary things happening in the midst of this crisis — the women sewing masks for health workers, the school staff providing meals for students, the volunteers bringing food to elderly people who cannot leave their homes, the health workers putting themselves in harm’s way to care for the sick.
Amidst the sadness and anxiety, there are uplifting moments that remind us of the resilience of the human spirit, and we’ll be there to document those too.
The coronavirus has created an unprecedented health and economic crisis in our state. The effects can be felt here, in Clay County, in our schools, on our main streets.
We are here to help you make sense of the situation and to help you navigate it.
Keeping a community presence is more important than ever. Together, across the decades, this newspaper and its readers have navigated horrific events – natural disasters, community tragedy, economic downturns and more.
This challenge is greater than any of those, but, rest assured, we’ll be here for you. How we bring you the stories or highlights from the community may change as we adapt to COVID-19 challenges, but our commitment to our communities will not.
New Century Press’s e-edition of the Moorhead Extra has always been free and open to our readers. We have lifted the paywall on our other subscription-only publications throughout the Upper Midwest. “We want to extend our coverage to all readers during this pandemic. Our commitment is to providing critical information to our communities. We will stand strong together,” states Lisa Miller, general manager, New Century Press, parent company of the The Extra. Effective immediately, all of the New Century Press publications can be accessed at www.ncppub.com. Moorhead’s newspaper continues to be accessible, as always, at www.thefmextra.com.
Moorhead – and the whole Fargo-Moorhead area – are strong and resilient; where people come together to build and rebuild. Let’s stick together, and we will come through this, too.
