When you have an assignment for a paper, and you are unable to leave your office, what’s a freelance writer to do? Well, if you are Jana Banana, you click on Facebook! Luckily, she is the face behind the Our Hartsville Facebook page that gives updates each morning about events and news in Hartsville.
She posted the following plea, “Our Hartsville: ‘HELP! I need some help for a Hartville Messenger article - share your New Year's Resolutions here! Let me know if it is okay to use your full name, and your connection to Hartsville. Thanks! - Jana Banana :)’”
Here is what some faithful Facebookers from Hartsville posted:
