About Us

This all-volunteer newspaper written by and for Tri-Lakes area residents was launched in June 2001 to provide residents the information they need to get involved in the public process of addressing the significant challenges facing the Tri-Lakes area.
 
Our mission is to give Tri-Lakes area residents:

• Through accurate, objective community-based and area-wide news, help them reach sound conclusions and contribute to a successful future for our area;
• Through letters to the editor, provide a forum for the free exchange of ideas and opportunities that may impact their daily lives; and
• Through inexpensive advertising, support local businesses and provide a guide to Tri-Lakes area shopping.

Unlike papers that try to figure out what the "story" is and then get quotes on each side to presumably lead the reader to conclude what the "truth" is, OCN's role is to report in detail on public meetings of local governmental entities. We report what was talked about and what was decided. By reading OCN, you can find out what you would have learned if you had attended those public meetings. In this context, "truth" is that the articles accurately represent what transpired at the meetings.
 
We want to hear from you. Regarding our content, contact Managing Editor Michael Weinfeld at editor@ocn.me.  If you are interested in advertising opportunities please contact John Heiser at johnheiser@ocn.me
