The success of the newspaper is a direct result of community support and local marketing. Throughout the many years of operations, The Waynedale News, once known as The Waynedaler, is an entity that the Waynedale community accepts and expects.

Cornwell and Alberico’s overall goal for The Waynedale News is to sustain and build on the community binding newspaper.As a major objective for the future, The Waynedale News will become more community driven and influenced. The newspaper will serve as a hub for community information and knowledge, where any community member is invited to submit story ideas, articles or photos for publication in the paper. In the past, The Waynedale News has been an active member of the community, but with the new ownership, the newspaper will become an intricate part of Waynedale activity and promotion. With this new presence, the paper will serve to promote business and residential growth within Waynedale and the surrounding area.
