A new digital dawn for the Lake Chelan Mirror

Terry Ward
CEO & Publisher
Ward Media

As the CEO & Publisher of Ward Media, the stewardship of the Lake Chelan Mirror and its evolution holds a special place in our mission to serve the North Central Washington community with integrity and innovation. It is with immense pride that I introduce to you the newly redesigned website of the Lake Chelan Mirror, a project that was initiated with fervor six months ago, shortly after we were privileged to become a part of this historic publication's journey.

The genesis of this initiative was rooted in our commitment to enhancing your experience as readers and community members. We recognized the need to modernize and streamline lakechelanmirror.com to elevate its aesthetic appeal and improve its functionality and user engagement. Today, I am thrilled to announce that our vision has come to fruition.

Our redesigned website is a testament to our pledge to make our content more accessible, engaging, and responsive to your needs. It simplifies the process of becoming a subscriber, offering an easy online subscription option that we were keen to implement from the outset. We've introduced a suite of online management tools for our existing subscribers. Now, you can seamlessly modify your subscription details, address delivery concerns, and even pause your subscription while on vacation, all through a few simple clicks.

In an era where community involvement is more crucial than ever, the new platform empowers you to actively participate. Whether you wish to submit letters to the editor, share news tips, or announce life's milestones—be it a birth, an engagement, or a cherished anniversary—the Lake Chelan Mirror is your forum.

We're also excited to present exclusive "web extras"—content you won't find in our print edition but designed to enrich your digital experience. From placing classified ads to browsing the E-edition of the newspaper in a user-friendly format, our goal is to ensure that lakechelanmirror.com becomes a daily touchstone for you.

But our ambitions extend beyond the shores of Lake Chelan. In our effort to knit the communities of North Central Washington closer, we've launched NCW News (www.ncw.news), a comprehensive news site that brings you stories from across the region. This platform extends our commitment to delivering robust and regional news coverage.

The unveiling of the new lakechelanmirror.com and the birth of NCW News are milestones in our ongoing journey to redefine local journalism. As we navigate this digital era together, I invite you to explore these platforms, engage with our content, and continue to support community journalism.
