Nonprofit NewsNet Fills Local Coverage Gap in Woodbury
A nonprofit news organization has emerged to serve Woodbury's 80,000 residents with hyper-local coverage after the closure of the city's former newspaper several years ago.
Woodbury NewsNet launched its weekly newsletter "The Roundabout" in August 2024, focusing on city government, public safety, community stories and local events. The organization was founded by residents who identified a coverage gap after the Woodbury Bulletin closed four to five years ago.
The nonprofit has attracted more than 2,700 subscribers to its free newsletter in just over a year of operation. The organization also maintains a website at woodburynewsnet.org where readers can access past newsletter issues and individual stories.
Woodbury NewsNet operates as a volunteer-driven organization seeking community members to contribute as writers and in other capacities. Interested residents can contact the organization at volunteer@newsnet.org to learn about opportunities.
The organization's mission statement emphasizes strengthening community bonds "one story at a time" through independent local journalism focused exclusively on Woodbury news and events.
