Why bother?

You may be thinking, "Why spend any time on it? No one reads the paper anyway." It's a fair point.

I'm an optimist, and I figure that if we become readers and we hold the editors accountable for what they're doing, including when they're doing right, we can slowly make it better. Would you prefer that your only choices for news in Prescott were satellite TV and right-wing talk radio?

  1. Good job! Lots of work, I suppose. This will be a good help for non newspaper readers like me to keep up with what's going on (and more importantly, how to interpret it), especially local affairs I have zero knowledge on. Thanks and keep it up!

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:

There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.

If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.

If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
