Excellence

Each person takes responsibility throughout our organization to enact the highest standards of practice in our reporting and business practices. We conduct our internal and external relationships with respect, valuing both the wisdom of experience and creative new ideas to continually improve, learn and grow. 

Integrity

Our guiding motto is “news in pursuit of truth,” and we hold ourselves accountable to principles of honesty, nonpartisanship and impartiality. The courage to question any person or institution is fundamental to earning and holding our readers’ trust.

Inclusion

We constantly challenge ourselves to develop inclusiveness and belonging in our own organization and to serve the diverse people, groups and places that make up our region. Representative reporting, community listening and targeted outreach are some of the tools we use to create a broad and vital community of news sources and readers.

Experimentation

We manage bold risk-taking to identify and experiment with new ways of producing and distributing news that matters to our readers and partners. 

Collaboration

We seek and create opportunities for mutually empowering collaborations and partnerships with individuals, groups and organizations that share our goals of building and revitalizing a sustainable local news ecosystem.
