Bringing The World Home

Sun., Feb. 14, 1999

Connect the world to you.

That’s the idea behind Connections, a new page we’re testing out on A5 in today’s Spokesman-Review.

The Connections page will track world news and events that have a direct link to the lives, jobs and neighborhoods of people living in the Inland Northwest.

For this page, we’ll track news from around the world that can affect life in Eastern Washington and North Idaho. The links between world events and our local region will be clearly laid out in every story on the Connections page.

You can help us identify stories from around the world that cause a ripple here at home. If you have an international story or issue that you think connects with our region, call us at (509) 459-5400, or send us a fax at (509) 459-5482 or an e-mail at worldnews@spokesman.com.

It’s a big world out there, and we’re a part of it. Help us make the Connections.
