Editor: The column from publisher Dwayne Weidendorf, “A new look for your newspaper,” (The Times, Oct. 1) asked readers what they thought of the new format.
I, for one, think it is a great idea. It is easy to read and well-thought out.
I have seen many changes in newspapers over the years and yes, the free delivery concept goes a long way in getting local news to our Langley community, where perhaps that avenue wouldn’t occur otherwise.
Of course, folks can still get The Langley Times and other local papers on the internet and make comments (if they wish) through that medium.
I always enjoy the paper copy, looking at the pictures, and thumbing through the pages from cover to cover.
I would also add another comment. The Langley Times and other local papers put a tremendous amount of energy and effect (including financially) into supporting community events, charity functions, and not-for-profit organizations. One example (and there are many) is their commitment towards the Salvation Army Gateway of Hope, helping those less fortunate individuals in our society.
Well done to The Times, and publisher Weidendorf.
