Accuracy will be essential. That’s a laugh. Your policy of not letting the stories be reviewed by the ones giving the story has made our paper a laughing stock. I know that you don’t want the story to be influenced, but to hold that above accuracy is moronic. I’ve been here in Clovis for over 35 years. During that time we’ve had many photos and stories done that involved our firm. Not one of them got the facts straight. Some facts were so screwed up that to this day we laugh. Not only us, but firms we deal with on a daily basis, still rib us about things we’ve done (or so your story said). One man’s name even changed because of your story. We got to calling him the name you printed in the paper, and over time it just stuck.

CNJ: a compromise that get’s the facts right, IS A GOOD COMPROMISE!

So you’ve finally reached the grouch quota in the newsroom? Sounds like a fun job, can I work from home?

“Grouchy people need not apply.” LOL!! I like that.

Hmm… come to think of it… I have “internet and grammar skills”. Unfortunately, my resume consists of nothing but 25 years in the Air Force!
