EDITORIAL
By Judith Crocker
The great symbolic, cultural and practical significance,
in colorful posters, from the exhibition of our
journalistic work in a library
1. Recognition and legitimacy
The library is a public space associated with knowledge, education, and culture. Displaying the work of our local newspaper there means that its work is recognized as a valuable contribution to the community and deserves to be preserved and displayed in a prestigious space.
2. Rescue of collective memory
Local newspapers often document everyday life: community events, neighbors' achievements, stories that don't appear in national media. An exhibit transforms these archives into historical memory, helping the community recognize itself in its pages.
3. Closeness to the community
By bringing our newspaper En USA to the library space, we facilitate access to those who may have never read it, despite its 24-year circulation. The display acts as a bridge between the newspaper and the residents, strengthening the bond and demonstrating transparency in its informational mission.
4. Education and civic training
The exhibit can serve to teach students and young people about the role of local journalism in democracy, the importance of reliable information, and how the newspaper reflects and gives voice to its own community.
5. Local projection and pride
Beyond the archive, the exhibition shows that the newspaper is a living part of our cultural heritage. It reinforces the pride of belonging to a community with an active media outlet committed to its people.
And finally, a library exhibition transforms the newspaper's daily work into a cultural, educational, and identity-based heritage for the community.
I wholeheartedly invite you to visit our exhibit and celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month together nationwide.
Our journalistic work will continue to be on display at the North Regional Library in Coconut Creek until October 31st during regular library hours: Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm, and the rest of the week, including weekends, from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. 1100 Coconut Creek Parkway - Coconut Creek, FL 33066. 954-201-2600
