Lake View Gazette makes every effort to be accurate and logical. Our goal is to present all sides of a story in its entirety.
Accuracy
The information on Lake View Gazette is as up-to-date as possible. Before anything is published, the facts and sources are double-checked. At various stages, articles are also checked for accuracy by more than one person. Even though we make every effort to provide accurate and up-to-date information, the content may not be perfect and may contain technical or spelling errors. In extremely rare cases, a person’s poor judgment may cause them to make critical errors by accident. When this occurs, Lake View Gazette will publish either a correction, a clarification, or an editor’s note, depending on their judgment.
Fairness
Because we value fairness at Lake View Gazette, we expect all of our employees to follow these guidelines. By being honest about what the sources want, we try to make our reporting feel fair. We should also strive to be fair in how we discuss things and how we discuss them.
A story isn’t fair if important details are left out. It is also unjust if it contains information that is unrelated to the facts. A story is also not fair if it intentionally or unintentionally deceives the reader. Coverage must be complete, relevant, and honest in order to be considered fair.
