The editorial board and opinion section staff are independent from the newsgathering side of our organization. Through our staff-written editorials, we take positions on important issues that affect our readers, from pension reform to protecting our region’s unique natural resources to transportation. Editorials are unsigned because, while written by one or more of our staff members, they represent the point of view of our news organization’s management. To take informed positions, we meet frequently with government, community and business leaders on important issues affecting our cities, region and state. During elections, we meet with candidates for office and proponents and opponents of ballot initiatives and then make recommendations to voters.
