Dear friends of the News Progress:
For the sake of our employees and our customers, we are temporarily closing the News Progress office at 100 W. Monroe St. As far as we know, none of us are sick with coronavirus, but we are taking seriously the recommendations of health professionals both locally and statewide and believe this move is in everyone’s best interests.
Meanwhile, the paper is open for business as usual (almost)! You can continue to call us at (217)728-7381. You can continue to drop off news releases, bills, etc. in our drop box outside the front door.
You can reach advertising manager Barry Morgan at advertise@newsprogress.com. For news tips, photos, questions and more, reach out to editor Mike Brothers at brothers@newsprogress.com
We hope to be back in the office soon, and we’ll let you know as soon as that happens.
Meanwhile, please stay safe and remain healthy. We appreciate your loyalty to the cause.
The staff of Sullivan News Group
