Welcome to the
Bloomfield Community Dispatch:
Your Voice, Your Town
By Peter C. Frank, Editor-in-Chief
Welcome to the Bloomfield Community Dispatch.
You are reading the start of something new—a publication built on the belief that an informed community is a strong community. For too long, the narrative of our town has been fragmented, often hidden behind opacity or lost in the noise of social media. We believe Bloomfield deserves better. We believe you deserve a dedicated, independent news source that respects your intelligence and champions your right to know.
Breaking News: The Launch Series
We invite you to read our first major breaking story, an in-depth investigation into local governance and transparency:
More Than Just a Watchdog
Our mission is grounded in transparency. We will serve as a vigilant watchdog over local government, attending meetings, analyzing budgets, and asking the hard questions to ensure that our town operates democratically and ethically. But a town is more than its government. It is a living, breathing network of neighbors, families, and friends.
Direct Engagement: No Middlemen
Currently, The Dispatch does not maintain social media accounts. We believe the best way for readers to engage with local news is directly at the source. We invite you to check back to this site regularly—at least weekly—for new reports, investigative updates, and community celebrations. By visiting us directly, you ensure that the algorithm doesn't decide what news you see; you do.
This Is Your Newspaper: Get Involved
Ultimately, this publication belongs to you. If you share our commitment to transparency, we invite you to join the team. We are actively seeking contributors to provide ongoing reporting, analysis, and community stories.
Note: We are specifically looking for an individual interested in managing and creating social media content for The Dispatch to help expand our reach.
