Publisher's Note

Changes—some temporary, some more long-lasting—continue at The Eagle.

In the short term, our reporter and news editor, Diana Zimmerman, will be taking a much-deserved vacation. As regular readers know, Diana contributes the bulk of our news writing. Though our staff will be able to cover some of her responsibilities, we not be able to cover it all, and so for our Feb. 15 and Feb. 22 issues, you might notice us experimenting with alternative kinds of content or formatting, or you may see more stories from our partner news orgs, such as the Chinook Observer or the Washington State Standard. We may ask for contributions from our readers, such as photos or stories.

If you have a news lead, please email info@waheagle.com.

We are also inviting residents of Wahkiakum County and Naselle to contribute to the long-term development of our paper by participating in a focus group. Participants will engage in conversations with each other to offer feedback to improve The Eagle. We are eager to hear directly from our readers what they would like to see in The Eagle.

Space is limited. If you’d like to participate in the focus group, please email brandon@waheagle.com.
