  • Journal Philosophy

    Somethings are timeless...The people you know, the times we share, the ideas we cherish, all have a piece of that quality. It's life in a small town. We believe that the news items and announcements that appear in The Wyckoff Journal will be about people we know. And, if we don't know them, we probably know someone who does. The degrees of separation in a town like Wyckoff are much fewer than in bigger towns and cities. We think that is a good thing.

    The role of a small-town newspaper is to make people aware of their surroundings. We hope The Wyckoff Journal will become a point of pride for the community, in looks, in content, and in spirit. We want to follow in the tradition of small local papers that have served America for centuries. Provide a source for local government news; be a place for local groups to advertise their activities. A platform to learn what's going on in the schools, with children, and about those who have grown up and moved away.

    Please participate by submitting material, writing material, or providing photographs. Explore the site and you will see many ways to get involved.
