Best of the Day: Canton offers slice of life with postcard series (6/27/12)

Print Comment
By Mike Turley

From Clinton to Navarre to Canton, The Repository reporter Gary Brown shares with readers the treasures of these Ohio communities in his postcard series.

WHAT THEY DID: Brown highlights people, businesses and traditions in the communities surrounding Canton, Ohio. The postcard series offers a hometown feel to everyday life, whether it’s the homemade root beer at Woody’s drive-in stand in Canton or the conversion of the Roxy Theatre into a community center in Minerva.

THE TAKEAWAY: The postcard segments are great examples of enterprise storytelling. They provide readers a slice of life and an opportunity to explore their surrounding communities. Use video and photo galleries to give readers an even more up-close-and-personal experience.
