  • due Dec 21: TPW's best of 2025 Genia thought nobody ever hears from our writers' perspectives. I thought they should write about -- Their most interesting story of the yea -- their most controversial -- the one they felt best about getting out there, or most useful or whatever - the one they are most interesting in seeing how it plays out in the year to come -- the story they found the hardest to report on.... whatever but I think knowing what it is like to be a reporter all year long must bring up some interesting thoughts and a different perspective on the community you live in.
  • due Dec 21: Looking ahead NP person on the street 2026 For this year’s looking forward issue (December 22 with a deadline of December 19), let's ask community members to share hopes and aspirations for 2025 in their community with a list of things they hope happen that in one way or another, advances their community. Can you please ask five people from the towns you cover these questions? And if you are doing a man-on-the-street interview, can you take their picture? If you are conducting it through social media, can you please ask them to email a picture?
  • due Dec 21: Looking ahead NPT 2026 Please ask them about some of the important issues facing their towns and what they are most looking forward to accomplishing in the year ahead. Please go into it with a few particular topics in mind that we know readers will want to know about, and try to get some specifics about them; mostly issues we've covered a lot already and what we can expect to happen in the coming year.
