Strengths: The Austintown community is a very well informed population when it comes to news. This area has multiple outlets to get the information that they need at any given second. Whether it be obtained through the multiple available newspapers, their televisions, or cell phones. They have an abundant amount of information at their fingertips whenever they want it. It is also a positive thing to see the large amounts of help hotlines that are available to the community for any type of crisis that might occur.
Weaknesses: With an increase in technology in these recent years, communication between each other has really been altered. This increase in the use of electronics has also led to the increase of prices for these items in the surrounding area. Cable, internet, cell phones, etc have become such an expensive commodity in not just this area but throughout the surrounding areas.
