Welcome to MyRye.com’s explainer series: who we are, what we do, why we do it and how we do it.
And we can already tell you when and where we do it. It’s every day, 365 days a year. And it is on this website and in our daily newsletter at 9:00 a.m. every morning (sign-up – it’s FREE).
Want to send us a letter, a tip or ask us to cover a story or event?
Here is how:
- Tips and letters (go here). Love something a local nonprofit did? Frustrated with a new city policy? Is something up in your neighborhood that might be newsworthy? Submit a tip or letter.
- News and events (go here). Does your PTO, nonprofit, sports team, church or local business have news? We only know when you tell us! Submit a news item or an event listing for our calendar.
Still not sure how any of this works and need more guidance? Just ask.
MyRye.com. Your News. Always Local.
MyRye.com exists so people connected to Rye receive local news that provides appreciation, insight and utility, and holds the City accountable to be its best self.
Best,
Jay Sears, publisher
