The residents of Chestermere, Langdon, Strathmore, and the rest of "our Anchorage"  are nothing like you’ve seen elsewhere in the region. Literate. Highly articulate. Politically aware. Socially conscious. They are a group with a mind all their own.

And, to reach out to s unique people, you need a unique newspaper.

The Anchor speaks the kind of language this group easily relate to .

The kind of journalism they understand, respect, believe in and act upon. Remember, community newspapers have always occupied a  specific niche in the media marketplace. They’re a vehicle for highly localized communications, linked to community interests and issues.
