Gone are the days of newspaper editors sitting in a smoke-filled office deciding what stories people needed to know about, which ones you get to read. These days you, our readers, have choices. You get news from the newspaper, of course, but also online from multiple sources in the Golden Triangle, from radio, from TV, maybe even from the barber.
At the right of this entry is a poll with a bunch of subjects for stories in your newspaper or on your Web page. There are other subject that weren’t included and we encourage you to let us know in the comments section what you want to read. You are invited to vote for one or more types of news. Our staff will use the information we gather from this to plan our coverage of Mid- and South Jefferson County.
This won’t be the last time we ask what you want us to write about for you. We’re looking forward to finding out what you have to say.

I would like to ask if PN-G and Nederland are the only schools with athletic teams after football season ends? The Port Arthur News has ignored PAM for too long. I guess our athletes who practice just as hard as anyone else cannot fit into the News sports department's schedule. If I am correct the News missed our girls' playoff basketball game. PAM is THE ONLY high school in Port Arthur. Please ask the sports staff to take time away from writing two columns a week and drive a mile down the road to our campus.
