The Sacramento Press is, first and foremost, a community-contributor website. Some call it "citizen journalism." Whatever you call us, we are here to give an online voice to members of the community, to cover stories that may be otherwise ignored by the mainstream press, and to provide a forum for discussion of local issues. We are also working to promote the values of traditional journalism — thorough reporting, balanced perspectives, clear writing — through workshops and internships, while ... davidwattsbarton Kathleen Haley 2009-04-17T03:53:17Z 2009-04-17T03:53:17Z

Jealous! Congratulations. ;)

Any articles, unless explicitly labeled otherwise, that come from the staff, reporter(s) or interns at The Sacramento Press are scrutinized to have little if any bias. I point to yesterday's Tea Party coverage by Raoul Kleven. If you can find a less biased accounting of yesterday's rally in any media, I would love to read it. However, do remember that this is a citizen journalism publication and that *anyone* can submit content to our site without prior editorial oversight. This means that posts by our community can and generally do have bias or a point of view. In this case we prefer if people identify who they are so that their biases are clear and upfront.

Let's hope Kathleen can report without the blatant bias associated with most publications these troubled days. I noticed she was referred to as a "reporter," which gives us some hope. Best wishes from the cautiously optimistic.

Hi Cinamon, We've met! I went to a couple of the Sacramento Salon meetings. For everybody: Sacramento Salon engages people in intellectual discussions. It's a salon in the old-school definition of the term -- it's not a beauty salon.
