Regional Newsroom

Effective Jan. 1, MARC will no longer archive news releases from local governments in our online Regional Newsroom.

When we began the newsroom several years ago, many local governments did not have the ability to archive their own releases online, so this central resource was useful to RAPIO members and local media. Since that time, many local governments have expanded their own websites, new technologies such as RSS Feeds have become widespread, and search engine capabilities have continued to improve.

While the newsroom may still be a valuable resource to some, traffic has decreased to the point we can no longer justify the time it takes to keep it current and manage so many files.

News releases issued by MARC can be found on our news releases page and some of our recent news features can be found in our news archive.
