Guri City Produces 'Large Font Municipal Newsletter' Starting February

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Eom In-yong] Guri City announced on the 4th that it has begun issuing an additional ‘Large Font <Guri News>’ starting with the February 2025 edition of its municipal newsletter.

The existing <Guri News> was printed in B5 paper format with small font, which made it difficult for seniors to read. The city has now created a municipal newsletter in A3 paper format—more than twice the size of the existing format—with font sizes also enlarged to nearly double the original size, which is expected to significantly improve readability for seniors.

The city has produced 200 copies of this ‘Large Font <Guri News>’ and distributed them to community centers for the elderly, senior welfare facilities, and administrative welfare centers in each district that are frequently used by older residents. The city is considering increasing circulation with the cooperation of the city council based on future response.

Meanwhile, <Guri News> is a monthly municipal newsletter published by Guri City containing practical information useful in daily life, including welfare, cultural events, health information, and performances. Notably, a satisfaction survey of the municipal newsletter conducted in September of last year showed that 85% of respondents answered they were "satisfied," garnering strong positive response from citizens.

Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun said, "I hope seniors will more easily receive news about municipal affairs through the ‘Large Font <Guri News>’ and take greater interest in city policies," and added, "Going forward, we will do our best to ensure that <Guri News> becomes a municipal newsletter loved by all generations in Guri City."
