We were the first private news website in the Macon, GA. Over the past 6 years, we have been first to inform the local community of many of the most important local news, events and sports events. We insist on the highest levels of ethics and integrity in gathering and delivering the news. Learn about the values that drive our news report. In the 21st century, that news is transmitted in more ways than ever before – online and mobile, in print and on the air, in words, video, photographs, interactive, graphics, data and audio. We always strive to identify all the sources of our information. We shield them with anonymity only when they insist upon it for a valid reason and when they provide vital information – not opinion or speculation; when there is no other way to obtain that information; and when we are confident the source is reliable and in a position to know. We don’t plagiarize, and we respect copyright. We avoid behavior or activities that create as a conflict of interest that compromise our ability to report the news fairly and accurately, uninfluenced by any person or action. We must be fair. Whenever we portray someone in a negative light, we must make a real effort to obtain a response from that person.
