The editorial mission of the WACOAN is to present positive images of our community through articles that entertain, enrich and educate. Every issue tells the stories of people, WACOANs, whose personalities, achievements and experiences contribute to our community’s unique character. We take the time to tell the full story — providing all the information that you won’t find anywhere else. We go beyond the news to the human interest that makes up the heart of the Waco community. Bringing you the untold story, the WACOAN picks up where the others leave off. Because WACOAN isn't just the name of our magazine, it's who we are and we take pride in that. |
