Growing Together, One Page at a Time
If you’ve felt the Chronicle getting fuller these past few months, you’re not imagining it. Our community has rediscovered its voice—and with it, a renewed excitement to share stories, memories, journalism, art, and reflections from across the Comstock. Each week, more residents reach out wanting to contribute, and it has been a joy to watch this paper become a gathering place for local expression again.
At the same time, we face the familiar challenge of limited space. Because our advertising remains small, we are often unable to expand the number of pages needed to accommodate every contribution in full. Until our advertising base grows, we will need to share space, rotate features, and occasionally hold submissions for a later issue. This is not for lack of passion or interest—it is simply the reality of printing a newspaper every single week.
To help make room for the many voices who want to be part of the Chronicle, the Editor’s Note will now appear monthly instead of weekly. This allows us to dedicate more of our limited pages to community contributors while still keeping a regular space for reflection and connection.
We want to take a moment to thank the advertisers who make each issue possible. Their support keeps the Chronicle in print and in your hands. And we offer a special, heartfelt thanks to The Comstock Foundation for History and Culture, Comstock Inc., and Carson Demolition, whose continued funding has allowed us to rebuild, stabilize, and publish weekly as we grow back into the community newspaper our region deserves.
Advertising is what allows us not only to print each issue, but to expand it—to add more pages, more features, and more room for the voices of Storey and Lyon Counties. With growth, we hope to reach even further into the east valleys and broaden our coverage for all who consider the Comstock part of their home.
To everyone who has submitted stories, photographs, research, poetry, or reflections: thank you. Your enthusiasm is the heartbeat of this paper. As we continue to grow, we’ll do our best to honor every contribution and keep the Chronicle a place where our shared history and community spirit can thrive.
— Interim Editor, The Comstock Chronicle
