Recently the area’s daily newspaper came out in support of one of the candidates for Sebastian County Judge. This is not a practice our publication will follow suit on. Naturally, each form of media has their own style and guidelines. However, we choose to follow the golden rule in journalism: We report the facts, you make the decision.
It is that rule which Resident 22 News will adhere too. One of which we take pride in following. Many times reporting on unpopular topics or ones that people are very opinionated about can be difficult. Certainly just because we work to be unbiased does not mean we do not have a personal opinion. Its a rule of professionalism, and a line I’ve personally drawn for myself over the years working at various news outlets. Even in an editorial setting, publications jeopardize their independence and integrity. Why pledge 364 days of unbiased reporting only to run political endorsements only days before?
We encourage you to vote and let your voice be heard. It’s a privilege to have a say in our government. Do your part and know that we will continue to do ours, report facts as we know them.
