A journalist’s job: Balanced reporting
Editor, Thank you so very much for your recent coverage of Democratic events. I know the Star has received a lot of pushback from local Republicans for that coverage.
It’s journalism’s job to provide fair and balanced coverage to their readers. I can accept that the Republicans get more “front pages” than we do; they have a majority, of course. I will not accept that we get no coverage at all, even in a “conservative” county.
On their website Boerne Breaking News, they do not want to hear from anyone that is outside their group. How can you come up with good solutions if you do not listen to other’s opinions?
This is still America, and we need a free press to maintain our democracy; this is done by an independent press. There have been times that I have not been satisfied and wished the Boerne Star gave us more coverage. It works both ways.
I also appreciate your continuing support and publication of the every-other-week Progressive Views column. Democrats are here, growing in number, not going anywhere, and we will continue to work hard to make our voices heard over the relentless efforts of Republicans to silence our voices of dissent.
