We introduced a new look for the front page of the Smyth County News & Messenger in the Saturday, Oct. 11, edition. If you’ve seen it, I’d love to know what you think of it. Should we keep it? Or go back to the traditional look?
Let me know your thoughts by Oct. 18. Feel free to respond here or send me an e-mail at

I’ll be out of the office this coming week, but I’ll check all responses when I return.

Thank you for your input.
