BBCF Family & Community Stakeholders,
https://forms.gle/WFkm8ePrqLwswgWM8

We are conducting a brief community survey to better understand local perspectives on media, community storytelling, and the role a regional newspaper could play in strengthening the Black Belt. The survey is intended to help gauge community interest in local media, assess how residents currently receive information, and explore the potential impact of locally driven news coverage on civic engagement, economic development, and community connection.
Your feedback will help us better understand community needs, priorities, and willingness to support or contribute to a regional news platform through readership, storytelling, volunteerism, or other forms of engagement. We greatly appreciate your time, insight, and suggestions as we explore ways to preserve and strengthen trusted local media in the region.

Please complete the survey: https://forms.gle/WFkm8ePrqLwswgWM8

Feel free to share this survey with family, friends, and other community stakeholders. THANK YOU!!
