Policy
At Daily Tidings, editorial independence isn't just a buzzword, it's the backbone of everything we do. We keep our newsroom decisions worlds apart from any business chatter, so you can trust what you read is straight-up journalism, not swayed by ads or agendas.
Here's how we make that happen:
1. Newsroom in Charge
Our editors, writers, and review crew call the shots on stories, angles, and what hits the site. No outside meddling, period. If something feels off, we handle it internally.
2. Walls Up Between Money and Stories
Revenue keeps the lights on, but it never touches the content. Ads are our main fuel, they pay the bills without getting a vote on what we cover or how.
3. Ad-Supported, All the Way
We run on ads from local and regional folks who believe in the Rogue Valley beat, just like you do. It's simple: They support the site, we deliver the news; fair, factual, and free from influence. No backroom deals, no hidden hands. This setup lets us stay nimble and focused on stories that hit home, from Medford's main drag to Ashland's backroads.
4. Clear as Day on Funding
Transparency builds trust, so we're upfront about where support comes from.
5. All In for You
Bottom line: We're accountable to the readers in Medford, Ashland, and every dot on the map from here to Salem. Our job is to shine a light on what matters, hold the line on facts, and keep Southern Oregon's story real.
