Recorder welcomes readers’ input at online forum
Published: 5/14/2021 5:32:16 PM
The Greenfield Recorder will hold a virtual community forum next week where readers can ask about news coverage and offer feedback.
Join Publisher Shawn Palmer, News Editor Shelby Ashline and myself at the Thursday, May 20, forum held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. via Zoom.
“Joan, Shelby and I are very interested to hear from Recorder readers,” Shawn said. “Since I’m new to town, I am especially interested in knowing what matters to you about our coverage, our place in the community and anything else you want to share with me.”
Our preference would be to hold this forum in person say, in a large public place but that is not possible yet.

The Pioneer Valley News Guild, the union representing those employees, aimed to draw attention to their labor fight Thursday evening. Union members and supporters rallied outside Northampton City Hall before speaking during the City Council meeting’s public comment section.
