Community Participation
Some of the best local stories begin with a tip, a question, or a note from someone in the community.
Readers are encouraged to share story ideas, event announcements, photos, and tips about things happening in the area. Letters to the editor are also welcome when they are respectful, relevant, and submitted under a real name.
Community discussion is important. So is civility. Honest disagreement is welcome. Personal attacks and harassment are not.
Independent Local Journalism
New Glarus 360 operates independently. It is not affiliated with any political party, government agency, advocacy group, or advertiser. Editorial decisions are made without outside influence.
That independence matters. Readers should know that coverage is guided by news judgment and community value, not by outside pressure.
Standards and Editorial Approach
Accuracy, fairness, and transparency guide the work published on New Glarus 360. Information is verified whenever possible, and mistakes are corrected promptly when they occur.
Fabricated quotes, misleading content, and knowingly false information are never published. Trust is earned over time, and protecting that trust is central to the publication’s mission.
How We Use AI
New Glarus 360 uses artificial intelligence tools to assist with parts of the publishing workflow, including organizing information, outlining, editing, and improving efficiency.
These tools help a small local publication do more with limited time and resources, but they do not replace journalism. Every story is reviewed, edited, and approved by a human before publication. Reporting decisions, editorial judgment, and factchecking remain the responsibility of the publisher and editor.
