Where do you get your news from? I’m not talking about news outlets that only tell stories about people in your community when they commit a crime. I’m talking about news outlets that tell stories about positive news going on in your community.

Aley Haley, writer of the acclaimed book, ‘Roots’, lived by six words, "Find the good and praise it." Each week, the Telegram Newspaper strives to share information about what good people are doing while reporting on positive stories that are happening in our communities.

Our goal is to increase the number of people reading these stories each week. We are growing and expanding, as we celebrate our 76th year of providing news to the community, but we are sure there are more people who would benefit from positive and informative news. Through circulation test samples we’ve conducted over the last quarter, we noticed that people are reading test Telegrams placed throughout the community. Now that our test run is complete, we are confident that more people would enjoy this awesome newspaper.

One of the best gifts you can give to yourself or to one of your loved ones is a subscription to the Telegram Newspaper. A one year subscription delivered to your home by one of our ‘Papermen/Women’ is only $30.00. For the cost of a 2 for $25 meal at Applebees, you can stay informed with news happening in the Metropolitan Detroit community which includes the Downriver communities and Detroit for an entire year. For those of you that want to try it out for six months, that cost would be only $20.00. If you want to have a Telegram mailed to your family members, kids that moved away or loved ones in the prison system, we can mail a weekly newspaper to them for $65.00 for the year.

We thank all of those who have been supporters of the Telegram over the years and pray that you continue to enjoy the rest of the crazy year. We encourage you to ‘Celebrate our 76th Anniversary’ with a subscription. Each subscription includes online access so you can read the Telegram on your cell phone, computer or tablet.

If you are interested, please call the office at 313-928-2955, email us at [email protected] or complete the subscription form on page 6A and mail it in to: Telegram Newspaper 3715 W. Jefferson Ecorse, MI 48229.
