About MorinvilleNews.com

Let’s face it, news means NOW not next week. The problem with community newspapers is that their weekly publication schedule makes many news stories history by the time you get to read the paper. At MorinvilleNews.com, we believe that it is important to get the news while it’s still news.

Radio and television can give you the big stories the same day, but those stories often lack the depth of information that many people want. But when it comes to stories of importance to small rural communities, the cameras are seldom to be found, offering our communities neither coverage nor depth of coverage.

MorinvilleNews.com is a unique news service serving Morinville and the communities that surround it within Sturgeon County. Internet based reporting allows us to mix our media, giving our viewers the news they need NOW in a variety of formats: articles, photos, audio and video, as well as direct links to official sources of further information.

Because we are Internet based, we are not restricted in what news we can present by how many advertisers bought ads that week or by how many ads the publication wishes to cram in to maximize its profits. While advertising is essential to our survival and to keep the accountable and unbiased publication of news free to all our readers, we believe that you will find MorinvilleNews.com’s layout easy on the eyes and heavy on the content.

Morinvillenews.com is owned and operated by Stephen A. Dafoe. The site is NOT affilitated with current community weekly the Free Press, or defunct publications The Sturgeon Light and Morinville Mirror. Morinvillenews.com is exclusively an online publication.

We hope you will take the time to register your email with us – it’s the big box in the right-hand column. By doing so you will receive a daily email listing the stories published in the previous 24 hours, giving you an opportunity to directly access those stories of interest to you, while not having to flip the page to bypass others.
