Clark County Today - Ken Vance: Ken Vance has served as editor of ClarkCountyToday.com, since the online community news organization was formed in June 2016. ClarkCountyToday.com, owned and founded by David Madore, was launched on Sept. 27, 2016 with the intent to satisfy the thirst of Clark County residents for more neighborhood and community news. Vance got his start in the newspaper industry in 1987 as a reporter at The Columbian Newspaper in Vancouver. Vance graduated from Stevenson High School in Stevenson, WA, and attended Clark College in Vancouver. He worked for The Columbian from 1987-2001. He was most recently a staff member of The Reflector Newspaper in Battle Ground, where he served as editor since 2010 and reporter since 2007. Vance?s work in the newspaper industry has won him multiple awards, including a first place award from the Society of Professional Journalists for in-depth reporting.

Our mission is to promote local business simply by letting people know what's happening on this side of the river, from exceptional food and drink to independent films and live music to family-friendly adventures. With several new posts every day and a packed calendar of events, www.northbanknow.com serves as the online companion to the Vancouver Business Journal's print North Bank magazine.

The Reflector - Laura Venneri: The Reflector Newspaper was established in 1909. Today we deliver our weekly paper to over 28,000 homes and businesses in our circulation area. Focusing on local news, events and community interests is what makes us unique. Laura Venneri is the General Manager at The Reflector Newspaper.  In 1999, Laura and her husband moved from Gladstone, OR to Battle Ground, WA but she continued to work in downtown Portland. By 2004, she was tired of the commute and wanted to be involved in the community they lived in. She took a leap of faith, changed professions and began working for The Reflector. This change has allowed her to meet amazing individuals in our community and be a part of sharing their story.
