Guiding Principles 

• We are a hyper-local paper at heart. If we cover citywide or state issues, we will always link it back to the experiences of people in our coverage area on the Far Northside.

• We focus on centering the voices of the voiceless: POC, Queer people, the unhoused, and the otherwise politically disadvantaged.

• We are committed to uncovering and airing injustice and spreading the movements that would go unnoticed by the mass media.
