Unfortunately our low turnout meant the many of our members missed an insight into working with the Press (The Leader in particular) and how this Award winning Newspaper sees its position and responsibility in the Community. Jim Mihaly has been a Newspaper man all his working Life starting at the age of 9 working for his parents in their Local Newspaper. He is the Publisher of the Surrey Leader one of  90+ Publications in the Black Press Group. The Surrey Leader won 24 Community Newspaper Awards in 2012 (12 of them first place)

The leader continues to grow and adapt the modern technology with its on line Edition getting in excess of 200,000 pages viewed per month,

They have 750 paper routes and deliver 83,000 copies of each edition each week. Jim was most accommodating in handling our many questions in the Q & A at the end of his formal presentation.

We asked a lot and learned a lot… The Leader has been very supportive of Surrey Rotary and we look forward to many more years working together for our community. Especially now that Jim has told us how to Maximize our presence and get our message out.
