By Tammy Whitaker,
Editor Lost Creek Sentinel
My name is Tammy Whitaker, and I’m proud to be the editor of this brand-new publication that will replace the Lost Creek Guide, a previously published regional newspaper.
Joining me on this exciting journey is Ed Morales, our publisher, who also brings his talents as a professional photographer and graphic designer for the benefit of our readers. Together, we’re committed to delivering a vibrant, community-centered paper that connects you with local news, stories, and our growing business community.
Our vision is simple: to be a trusted source you can rely on—one that keeps you informed, inspired, and in touch with the people and places that matter most. For now, we’ll publish just one edition per month, with the goal of increasing to two as soon as possible. Like before, the Sentinel will be FREE to 18,000 homes and businesses with many thanks to our advertisers for their support. This publication wouldn’t be possible without them, so make sure to seek them out and support their businesses.
If you’re a business that wants to reach those 18,000 homes and businesses, you can request a media kit from Ed by emailing publisher@lostcreeksentinel.com. Likewise, if you’re someone who believes in our mission and would like to invest in this endeavor, we’re open to including partners who share our values and community-first mindset.
One of our top priorities is to provide educational and informative content. We’re not here for sensational headlines or biased perspectives. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, we believe the role of a community newspaper is to inform, not influence. We encourage your feedback, because your trust is important to us.
Our content will include stories that uplift and educate, featuring contributions from guest writers that highlight local businesses, schools, and sports, along with other community news that matters to you! You’ll also find health, wellness, and financial tips to support your overall well-being. Our “Beneath the Surface” column will invite deeper reflection on topics that matter. In addition to our printed paper, Ed will also be creating a digital version, allowing you to get your news anytime and anywhere that’s convenient for you!
So, whether you’re reading this in your favorite recliner or from the cab of your tractor, our hope is that each edition leaves you informed, entertained, and excited for the next one. Here’s to a new chapter in local storytelling—welcome to the Lost Creek Sentinel. We’re glad you’re joining us on this exciting journey!
