Hello Mountain Timers,
As we reflect on our role within this vibrant mountain community, we want to take a moment to reaffirm our commitment to the values that guide our work at The Mountain Times.
We pledge to uphold integrity, truth and justice for all. These principles are not merely words; they are the foundation upon which we build our reporting and our relationship with you, our readers. We understand that in an era of misinformation, the responsibility to deliver accurate and fair news is more critical than ever.
Our dedication to integrity means we will always strive for transparency in our reporting, ensuring that our sources are credible and our stories are balanced. We believe truth is a vital pillar of a healthy democracy, and we are committed to uncovering and sharing the facts, no matter how challenging that may be.
Moreover, justice for all is not just an ideal; it is a call to action. We will work diligently to highlight the stories and voices of those who are often marginalized or overlooked. We believe that every member of our community deserves to be heard and represented.
Together, we can foster a community where integrity, truth and justice thrive. We encourage you to engage with us, share your stories and hold us accountable as we strive to meet this pledge.
Thank you for being an essential part of our journey. We are honored to serve you as your local paper and to be a part of this incredible community.
Sincerely,
Matthew Nelson
Your Publisher, The Mountain Times.
