We love bringing a mix of voices and perspectives into our stories. Sometimes that means letting people’s words stand exactly as they said
them—even if the grammar isn’t perfect—because that’s where the truth
and personality shine through. We also do our best to share full quotes,
not just sound bites cut to fit a moment. If you ever spot a quote of
yours that doesn’t sound quite right, reach out and we’ll make it right.

We’re always looking to talk with people who have something unique to
say—those with experiences or opinions that help us see things from a
new angle. If we reach out to you, it’s because your thoughts and perspective matter to the story. No pressure, no follow-ups, and no
need to hand us off to someone else. We’re genuinely interested in
hearing what you think.

Honestly, we’re tired of it too—the constant ads, the pop-ups, the endless push to consume. It’s hard to focus on good journalism when every inch of the page is trying to sell you something. We want to stay far away from that noise. That said, you may occasionally see ads or sponsorships from local businesses or nonprofits we genuinely believe in—but they’ll be few and thoughtful. Down the road, we plan to create a sponsorship page for those who want to support an independent, grassroots news source. No paywalls here—just a cleaner, calmer place to read.
