Promotional Spotlight: Hometown Heroes Special Section

Promotional Spotlight: Hometown Heroes Special Section

Each year, The Courier-Express/Tri-County Sunday (Du Bois) produces a particularly robust special section that distinguishes itself from all the others. The most recent publication, a three-section broadsheet titled Hometown Heroes, is no exception.

In partnership with their sister newspapers, The Progress (Clearfield), Jeffersonian Democrat (Brookville), and The Leader-Vindicator (New Bethlehem), the organizations asked readers to submit photos and information about their family members and friends, who currently serve, or have served, in the military. More than 100 images were shared, including many from the local historical society that captured local troops returning home from various wars, along with parade celebrations. Readers proudly disclosed the details of multi-generational military service.

In addition to the pictures and corresponding stories, a short synopsis of each war was also included in the publication . Advertisers were also delighted to support such a meaningful feel-good piece.
