The East Hampton Star, the town's official newspaper of record since 1885, is working on a plan to launch a Spanish-language news initiative in 2024. To do so, the team needs the community's help.

What types of news would you like to read in Spanish? What newspaper services, such as classified advertising, email newsletters, and social media posts, are of interest to you?

Thank you for taking the time to help The Star, which will in turn help the community.
