The Chronicle Is Going Online
DALLIN. After months of planning, The Dallin Chronicle is moving online, launching a monthly digital edition that will carry the paper's reporting, columns, and classifieds straight to readers' phones and computers, free to read, with no mail delays and no waiting on a rack outside the grocery store.
Editor-in-Chief Gus Halloran said the move had been a long time coming. "This town talks fast, and print never could keep up," Halloran said. "Online, we can get you the news the week it happens, not the month after."
This Halloween issue marks the first of what's meant to be a running publication, not a one-time special. A new issue will post online every month, covering town happenings, a recurring gossip column, romance profiles on couples this town already knows by name, and a medical column addressing questions not always asked out loud elsewhere.
The Town Doctor and It's the Law both open their mailbags in this issue, answering reader questions directly. In the Know carries the latest on who was seen where, and with whom. And for readers who'd rather argue about something lighter, this issue includes a Halloween reader poll. The results will run in a future edition, plus a new Puzzles page, starting with a free crossword and a Jumble for subscribers.
