Heart of Ohio News was founded because we believe that too many communities in Ohio have been stranded in a “news desert” where there just isn’t enough information about what’s happening on a local level. As our founder, Ed FitzGerald, explains in the above video, our mission is to empower local communities by focusing exclusively on local news. Thank you for visiting our site. If you agree with our goals, help us spread the word. And if you’re a business interested in very targeted local advertising, just reach out to us through this site- we would love to work with you!
