Resident News Network Owner and Publisher Jason Baggett has announced the addition of a new publication to its growing family of newspapers—a monthly edition dedicated to the rural residents of Scott County.
The new publication, titled Scott County Rural Resident, will focus on locally curated content tailored to the interests and lifestyle of the county’s rural communities. While some stories will be shared with Resident News Network’s weekly publication, much of the content will be unique to the monthly edition.
The Rural Resident will be distributed free of charge at locations throughout Scott County. However, due to limited quantities, paid subscriptions will also be available for those who wish to receive a guaranteed copy each month.
Content will include coverage of farming and ranching, community news, and stories authored by local residents, offering a platform for neighbors to share their voices and experiences.
“We are truly honored to meet, and hopefully exceed, the expectations of our readership and following.” Baggett said. “We are the only 100 percent locally owned news source printing in county. We believe firmly in local supporting local. We aren’t driven by political agendas, and we hold tight the promise to report fair, accurate news.”
That promise includes the “do no harm” principle, recognizing that while reporting serves the public interest, care should be taken to minimize unnecessary harm. “We do not file unnecessary FOIA requests, nor do we use them as a weapon,” continued Baggett. “We do not use our position or influence to overpower entities, agencies, or individuals.”
