THE AVENAL PRESS RECONNECTS: BETTER INTERNET, MORE LOCAL NEWS AHEAD
NEW STARLINK SATELLITE NOW AVAILABLE IN AVENAL
A New Connection, A New Chapter
To address these challenges, The Avenal Press switched to Starlink satellite internet.
After weeks of technical difficulties and unreliable internet, The Avenal Press is back online with a new satellite internet setup designed to support more consistent publishing, live-streaming, and on-the-ground reporting.
Since getting the new system up and running, routine online tasks have become more manageable, allowing us to refocus on creating content and serving our readers.
For an independent local journalist, internet access is about more than uploading a post.
It is an essential tool for covering a developing story, sharing information with the community, and delivering updates when and where they matter.
With our new setup, we look forward to strengthening our capabilities for:
LIVE STREAMING of community events and local happenings.
ON-THE-GROUND REPORTING from locations throughout our coverage area.
REAL-TIME WEATHER UPDATES to help keep residents informed.
BREAKING NEWS AND COMMUNITY UPDATES with more dependable publishing.
IMPROVED DIGITAL CONTENT across our website and social media platforms.
Starlink's satellite-based connectivity also offers greater flexibility for reporting away from our usual workspace. on the go - anywhere we go.
This creates new possibilities for bringing coverage closer to the events and people making news in our community.
More Than an Internet Upgrade
This transition is about building a stronger foundation for independent local journalism. While no internet service is immune to interruptions, having a setup that better meets our needs gives us greater flexibility to focus on reporting, storytelling, and community engagement.
Our goal is not simply to post more often.
It is to provide useful, timely, and responsible coverage that keeps our community informed.
We are also taking this opportunity to improve our planning, strengthen our publishing workflow, and make better use of photos, videos, livestreams, and other digital resources.
Thank You for Your Patience
To everyone who continued following The Avenal Press Local News during the quieter stretch, thank you for your patience and support.
The work never stopped behind the scenes; we were working to resolve the issues that had slowed us down.
Now, with Starlink in place, we are ready to move forward with renewed energy and a stronger focus on local coverage.
We're back online—and looking ahead to more livestreaming, on-the-ground reporting, weather coverage, and community news.
