He said the West Richland-based paper on Van Giesen Street will focus on community events such as youth sports and activities and hometown news and features. So far, the concept is getting rave reviews. It can't do anything but good. And the paper's focus on profiling the community's children is welcome, she said. Hunt said he isn't worried about competing with established community papers in Prosser and Benton City.
Competition is great.
Competition will make each other strong. About 3,700 people receive Baker's free yellow newspaper each month. It features news written by community members. The Prosser Record-Bulletin, Prosser's weekly paper, has been around more than 100 years. Publisher John Fournier Jr. declined to comment on Hunt's new paper.
