Wipe the slate clean

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, October 14, 2020

Writing this has been hard — hurt and anger have blocked my way. The entry point is a common one: loss due to the pandemic.

Truth is always in style

Raymond Ramirez | Monday, April 15, 2019

In reporting, the news journalists have an overarching principle: seek out and report the truth. The main way to uncover the truth is to assemble relevant facts and convey them to the audience. If enough facts are reported supporting a consistent view of a subject — coalescing into a clear pattern — then the resulting
