How I Choose the Articles I Print

As the owner of the Whitehall Ledger, each week I have to make decisions on what is published. As a member of the media, I strive to be non-biased in my reporting and to never show my own personal opinions unless in my editorial.

Several times I’ve been questioned about why I chose to print an opinion piece that was divisive or leaned one way or another. I’ve been called a “raging liberal” as well as a “right-wing conservative.” One extreme to the other, it seems.

Why do I choose to print articles such as that on page 11? Do I agree with it? Doesn’t matter if I do or not. Do I support LR-131?...
