Open letter to Hantsport town council - re local media

I know that you are interested in encouraging local businesses.
But during council and COW meetings, you refer to the Hants Journal's coverage of events - as though it is the only media present at meetings. Another person is hanging breathlessly on to your every word and action. 

hantsborder.blogspot.ca is definitely a local business. The blog with its thoroughly modern headquarters (as of Sept. 2013) is located in Hants Border but within spitting distance  (just an expression) of the town. Its potential staff covers events in the town and area 24:7. 
Although I am the generally the blogger, I have a dedicated but grossly underpaid staff. And many residents of your town and area are avid readers.  

The Journal has a dedicated staff member living in town but it is located in Windsor. Who owns it and where is it headquartered?  

I do not expect applause every time I enter council chambers. I simply would appreciate your acknowledging from time to time that two media are present at your meetings.
