THE TRUMPET
The Trumpet is New Orleans only community newspaper written by neighborhood residents, for neighborhoods, about New Orleans neighborhoods. With over 30 contributors monthly, our network is fulfilling our vision of “community voices orchestrating change,” and we invite you to be a part of this symphony!
The Trumpet is our answer to the digital divide. Just as the Internet has changed how information is presented to people, it has also changed the degree to which people can create and present their own information. Many remain worried about the effect that the internet appears to be having on traditional print news. In a unique case like The Trumpet, we struggle to balance the two media to be able to let our physically-printed publication complement our online publication, and vice versa. Click here to read The Trumpet online.
Unlike other publications, we chose to enhance the newspaper by encouraging everyone to submit valuable content that informs and educates all New Orleanians. As a contributor, you will help us shape each issue’s theme by contributing news, photos, and stories that affects, promotes and empowers our city, its neighborhoods and its residents.
CONTRIBUTE
