Columbus residents can now meet the Ledger-Enquirer staff at the library. Here’s how.

Staff from the Ledger-Enquirer will soon be available to residents who would like to meet us at the Columbus Public Library beginning this week.

Every third Thursday of the month, starting April 18, staff from the Ledger-Enquirer will make themselves available in the library at 3000 Macon Rd.

Readers can visit us to get help with digital subscriptions, learn more about advertising or contacting customer service, find answers to questions they have about the paper, give us story ideas or meet a reporter or editor.

Ledger-Enquirer staff will be located in the Thomas Study Room on the 2nd Floor Genealogy Department from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the following dates:

  • April 18

  • May 16

  • June 20

  • July 18

  • Aug. 15

We hope to make the reporting process and staff more transparent to Columbus residents. This move comes after the paper launched Curious Columbus, a tool allowing readers to submit story ideas and questions they would like a reporter to cover.

The Ledger-Enquirer hopes these changes will increase engagement with readers and deliver reporting Columbus residents are most interested in.

It’s important that staff is out in the community as much as possible to effectively cover Columbus, Georgia Editor Jeremy Chisenhall said.

“This will give local residents a time and place to come find us,” he said. “And I’m excited to see what will come from it.”

Columbus residents can meet Chisenhall at the library April 18.
