Another year has come and gone. As tradition would have it, The People News will welcome the new year with a look back on some memorable happenings from months past.
These happenings will be reflected by analyzing the monthly surveys posted on the publication's website www.thepeoplenews.com.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each month, in order to better gauge reader sentiment, the online version of The People News asks a survey question of those visiting the site. The survey seeks input, usually regarding the front page story and local issues, to help provide insight and help understand the public's point of view.
Even though the surveys were not formulated and monitored scientifically, and it would have been possible for a special interest group to slant the results, the results do seem to reflect the general sentiment of replies to official surveys conducted locally. The People News will continue to post surveys on its website monthly during 2010. If you would like to participate in the The People News surveys, you can have your say by visiting: www.thepeoplenews.com.
