Founding Principles

• Community news belongs to the community.

• Everyone is a reporter, and everyone is an editor.

• The best local journalism comes from a mix of involved citizens reporting what they know and see, professional journalists helping make sense of it all, and sharp-eyed readers who question everything.

• People are always more important than institutions.

• Don’t compete. Collaborate, complement, cooperate.

• We will always strive to make it as easy as possible for everyone to add content, from cell phones, email, web browsers, etc.

• Everyone can participate, as long as they respect the rights of others to participate as well.

• We believe in the right of free speech, and all persons should be free to say whatever they want. We do not delete content unless there is a valid legal reason for doing so. If any posted content is deemed inappropriate, it will be moved to a different section of the website so as to lessen disruption but still uphold the rights of the poster.
