Paper dreams
or the newspapers future...

In this time and age when the whole world became a global village, where, in an instant, we could receive the most information from the Internet, a good number of the newspapers are struggling, often losing readers and revenue because of the Internet, television and other media.
With The Buffalo News, and some smaller locally published papers that we buy and read on daily basis, there is always a certain element of disappointment in absence of any kind of news and articles important to us, about and from our community. Along with the larger ethnic groups in Western New York, Croatian people are also a part of American fabric and contribute to cultural diversity.
Our Lady of Bistrica church, and parish in Lackawanna are fine example of a vibrant and active community, this is the place where American and Croatian members are finding a religious and spiritual guide, individually and as a group, expressing creativity, building bridges between cultures and leaving a national and cultural impact.
Croatian Chronicle is an independent Croatian-American newspaper published in New York, with a distinctive role and a vital influence on our society. Their guiding principle is an effort to deliver local news addressing essential issues, promoting our achievements, Croatian connection with American society and each other. Chronicle is publishing news and information about our communities in the United States, Canada and Croatia. They are showing a great enthusiasm in following activities from our own community in Lackawanna, proving the point that they are interested in what is happening in our neck of the woods, were we have a significant place.
Despite the internet, and all news channels, people will still continue to read newspapers like our Croatian Chronicle, interested in our own existence, for as long as they were relevant and worth reading.

Papirnati snovi
ili buducnost novina...

U današnje vrijeme, doba kad je citav svijet postao globalnim selom, kada u trenutku možemo dobiti vecinu informacija sa Interneta, dobarj broj novina i magazina bori se za opstanak, cesto gubeci citatelje i profit upravo zbog Interneta, televizije i drugih medija.
Uz Buffalo News, i neke manje lokalno publicirane novine koje dnevno kupujemo i citamo, cesto je prisutan element razocarenja zbog odsustva bilo kakvih vijesti i clanaka, važnih za nas o našoj zajednici. Uz ostale vecinski brojnije etnicke zajednice u Zapadnom New Yorku, Hrvatska zajednica takoder je dijelom Americkog tkiva s doprinosom kulturnoj razlicitosti.
Crkva Naše Gospe Bistricke, sa župom u Lackawanniodlicnim je primjerom aktivne i životne zajednice, te mjesto gdje Americki i Hrvatski clanovi nalaze religiozne i duhovne smjernice, osobno i kao grupa, uz kreativnu izražajnost gradeci mostove medu kulturama i ostavljajuci nacionalni i kulturni utjecaj.
Hrvatska Kronika su samostalne Hrvatsko-Americke novine publicirane u New Yorku sa osobitom ulogom i važnim utjecajem na našu zajednicu. Vodeci princip im je pokušaj dostavljanja lokalnih vijesti s naglaskom na esencijalnu tematiku, promociju naših dogadanja, Hrvatsku povezanost s Americkim društvom te našim zajednicama. Kronika nam istovremeno donosi vijesti iz Amerike, Kanade i Hrvatske. Ove novine pokazuju veliki entuzijazam prateci aktivnosti i iz naše vlastite zajednice u Lackawanni, dokazujuci nam da postoji interes za dogadanja i iz našeg dvorišta, te da i mi ovdje zauzimamo važno mjesto.
Unatoc Internetu i mnogim TV postajama s vijestima i dalje cemo citati novine, poput naše Hrvatske Kronike, jer one su zainteresirane za našu egzistenciju, sve dotle dok su relevantne i vrijedne citanja.
