In this episode of 3CMA COMMCAST, we explore the continued value of printed newsletters in an increasingly digital communication landscape. While many municipalities rely heavily on online tools, print remains a trusted and effective way to reach residents—especially those who may not engage through digital channels.   This conversation features Kim Overholt (Loveland, CO), Ben Hayle (Blaine, MN), and Laura Shepard (Vancouver, WA), who share how printed newsletters continue to support accessibility, visibility, and community trust. They discuss when and why print still works, how it complements digital strategies, and what they’ve learned by maintaining a balanced communications approach.   #3CMACOMMCAST #WeGetGov
