All expenditures will be consistent with the Oxford Community Foundation guidelines. The Oxford Area Newspaper Committee is organized to educate the public by promoting the the dissemination of news in the Oxford Area via a local newspaper or by other means of communications and to underwrite the costs of operating a local newspaper.
