You, our readers, and local leaders, know the Sandusky County community better than anyone else, as well as the important news and events for everyone to know.
For the Fremont News-Messenger to serve the community best, we rely on your tips and suggestions.
To that end, we are launching a new initiative to bring local announcements and events to the public. We’re using technology to make it easier to publish community announcements that matter while freeing up our full-time reporters to focus on hard-hitting and impactful news coverage.
To get your announcements published online and in print, please email your announcements to fre-newsdesk@gannett.com or rlapointe@gannett.com.
How are we bringing more local news to you?
By using Espresso, a generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool to draft polished articles from community announcements.
Using this tool, our reporter prepares neighborhood news and announcements we used to have only in the paper. Now, they’ll run online to make it easier for the public to share online.
That change will give you more access to relevant local news quicker. It also means we can help local groups and businesses get word out about their events.
By giving specially trained journalists access to generative AI, we are enhancing and improving community journalism. This tool allows us to capture the vibrant life of Sandusky County in real-time and bring readers more stories.
Our commitment to the highest standards of integrity and transparency is unwavering, and the Espresso tool operates under stringent human oversight at every stage. Journalists select announcements, use the tool to draft a story, edit it and review it. Then, an editor reviews the story before publication. That ensures the accuracy and quality in the news.
Here are some examples of the type of content you can expect:
What this means for you
You can expect to see more Sandusky County content on our site and in our paper. But more stories from the surrounding area will also appear, informing you of important events and community news.
So please, join us in this exciting journey to amplify local news by sending us your community announcements today.
Together, let’s celebrate what makes Sandusky County unique. Email your announcements to fre-newsdesk@gannett.com or rlapointe@gannett.com.
