Our Oath
We are the news.
We swear this oath to honour the people of Windsor-Essex: those who live here now, those who came before and built this place, and the cities and towns themselves.
Our mission
We are the news. We are honest. We are trustworthy. We are here to help the people and the city.
Councils open and honest
We will keep city and county councils open and honest. That is our first duty. We will follow what they promise, how they vote, and where the money goes, and we will publish the record so anyone can check it.
Facts, not spin
We will check every fact. We will never overstate. When we get something wrong, we will say so and fix it in public.
For the people, For the city
We will take the side of the people and the city, across Windsor-Essex, not the side of any party, official, or campaign.
Across the region
We will cover the whole region, including Windsor Police Service (Amherstburg included), LaSalle Police, and the Ontario Provincial Police in the rest of Essex County.
Tips stay protected
We will never name anyone who sends us a tip, and we will protect tipsters.
The news stays free
The news will stay free.
This is our oath.
