Moving to the next chapter of the Eagle story

Please follow us online at www.explorecarroll.com – I’m committed to making this work… Kevin Dayhoff

Posted 3/18/09

Our big news this week -- that this week is the last print version of The Westminster Eagle, and that we're combining many of its elements into an expanded version of our countywide Carroll Eagle and concentrating on an online Westminster Eagle version -- is bittersweet for members of The Eagle staff.

After all, we've come together under The Westminster Eagle banner, and formed great bonds with the community and its leaders over the past four-and-a-half years.

But we're excited about the additional Westminster coverage we'll be able to provide with the online version of The Westminster Eagle at
www.explorecarroll.com. It will include an expanded community calendar, forums for interactive comment, breaking news, Eagle Alerts and more.

We'll have our familiar features online as well, including our columns by Hoby Wolf, Cathy Drinkwater Better and David Grand, sports coverage, local education news and more.

We're also energized over the expansion of The Carroll Eagle, our sister publication that will be growing in terms of size, distribution and content. Many of the familiar Westminster features will now be in The Carroll Eagle. You can get it delivered to your home with the Sunday edition of The Baltimore Sun. We'll also be distributing it free at key locations throughout the community, including our familiar paper boxes.

Finally, we are happy to announce that one other piece of our local coverage puzzle has also solidified -- our satellite office, at 1942 Bethel Road just off Route 140, is up and running. We have a box for residents to drop items off to us any time, and our staff now has regular office hours -- though be sure to call ahead if you plan to visit, as we're usually in the field.

Though some things are changing at The Westminster Eagle, a few key things won't.

First, our phone number is still 410-386-0334, and our staff phone extensions and e-mail addresses also remain the same.

Secondly, our mailing address is still P.O. Box 493, Westminster, MD 21158.
Most importantly, our commitment to serve the community to the best of our ability, and to share the story and history of this community, hasn't changed. Our staff is humbled by members of this community who have placed their trust in us, and we'll do our best to honor it.

We'll see you online, and in The Carroll Eagle.
