My goal in owning and operating the Santa Barbara News-Press is to make it the best regional newspaper in the nation.

In order to achieve this there is much work to be done and it is not an easy task.

While challenging, to do our job right covering local issues and regional governments, we must report without bias and we must be balanced in our coverage.

We must uphold the truth; it is essential to the integrity of the News-Press. That is our unalienable right under the First Amendment; it is also our moral duty.
