18 Jul Client Feature: Revitalizing Local News with Grant Haven Media
At Moore Creative, we are passionate about partnering with organizations that make a tangible difference in their communities. That’s why we are excited to highlight our recent collaboration with Grant Haven Media. We had the privilege of designing a new website for them, and in the process, we’ve been inspired by their mission to rejuvenate local journalism.
A Bold Approach to Local News
Over the past decade, the landscape of local news has been drastically altered, with many communities losing their newspapers and the critical coverage they provide. Grant Haven Media, however, has chosen a path that defies this trend. Drawing inspiration from George Costanza’s famous philosophy of “doing the opposite,” they have been steadfast in their commitment to local journalism.
While many media conglomerates have struggled to adapt, leading to closures and cutbacks, Grant Haven Media has been working tirelessly to launch new publications and invest in existing ones that lack a succession plan. Their core belief is simple yet powerful: “local people telling local stories.” They hold firm to the idea that “news should be free and accessible for all” and that “advertising rates must make sense for businesses of all sizes.” These common-sense philosophies are refreshingly different from the approaches taken by larger media companies.
Building Stronger Communities
One constant in the ever-changing media landscape is people’s desire for local news. Grant Haven Media understands that local news is essential for building stronger communities. By sharing important news, inspiring positive stories, and preserving memories, they play a crucial role in recording history for all time. Their work is about more than just news; it’s about fostering a sense of community and belonging.
Our Collaboration: A New Digital Home
When Grant Haven Media approached us to design their new website, we knew we had an opportunity to create something special. Our goal was to build a platform that reflects their commitment to quality journalism and community engagement. The new site is user-friendly, visually appealing, and designed to make news easily accessible to all. We wanted to ensure that Grant Haven Media’s digital presence matched the excellence of their print publications.
Looking Ahead
Grant Haven Media’s mission is clear: to restore small-town journalism, one community at a time. We are proud to support them in this endeavor and excited to see the positive impact they will continue to have on local news. By partnering with organizations like Grant Haven Media, we at Moore Creative are reminded of the power of storytelling and the importance of keeping communities informed and connected.
