Newspapers nation-wide are struggling for survival, and the Bugle is no exception. Community journalism is more important than ever.

The PARK BUGLE needs your financial support to continue to serve and inform.

Every month you can...

• Get to know your neighbors: they’re creative, fascinating, and sometimes quirky.
• Follow the issues that don't make it into the major media.
• Learn about the area’s history, science, environment, and institutions.
• Get involved. Be informed. Read and share opinions and commentary.
• See current and back issues online and comment on stories.
• Support local businesses: they’re convenient and their survival depends on you.

The BUGLE strives to promote freedom of expression, enhance the quality of life in the readership communities and encourage community participation.
