Western Slope Now (KREX)How we report
News for the Western Slope, done in the open
We hold every story to the same standards, and we show you where it came from.
Wire stories link out.
When a story is moving across the region's newsrooms, we send you to the outlet that reported it.
We keep the thread.
When we've reported on something before, those stories are attached to it, so you get the arc and not just today's installment.
We correct in the open.
When the facts change, the correction is posted on the story, not quietly swapped in.
Named when a person writes it.
A reporter's work carries their name. Everything else is credited to The Slope Newsroom, never a made-up byline.
