Our Culture

Meeting people’s needs for news and information requires independence, commitment to serving the public interest and profound respect for the truth. That’s why our culture and work environment are built on values that call forth the best in us individually and collectively: integrity, personal responsibility, collaboration, continuous improvement, communication and a customer-service focus.

We strive to be honest, responsible and courageous in our relationships with the community we serve, and with each other. And we share the excitement of being a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week news and information source – and a place where the work we do makes a difference.

Our work is grounded in one of our nation’s most basic freedoms, which is contained in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
