Thank you to all who participated in The Wenatchee World’s Newsroom Open House last week. The event was an opportunity for the staff to connect with readers and hear your questions, compliments and feedback. All the conversations help The Wenatchee World become a better community voice and better serve our readers!

The event was our first virtual Open House in almost a year, since previous informal forums hosted by The Wenatchee World were halted due to COVID-19 precautions. We thank you all for working alongside us to navigate a new digital-forward environment.

Throughout the night, we noticed some common themes from readers’ comments. Here’s what we learned:

1. We aren’t perfect. No newsroom is, and The Wenatchee World shouldn’t shy away from criticism. In the New Year, the NABUR team will host virtual office hours where community members can ask questions and raise their concerns one-on-one with Wenatchee World journalists.
   
2. Our newsroom shares content in a lot of different places — There’s something for everyone and we suggest finding what works best for you. If you prefer print, we still have the classic print paper delivered at your doorstep. Just want the top headlines of the day? Sign up for our daily email newsletters.
