At Kensington Voice, we hold ourselves to the highest editorial standards to ensure our reporting is accurate, balanced, fair, and respectful to the communities we serve. Last week, we published a story titled “These legislators were re-elected last week. Here’s what they had to say to Kensington,” which we have since removed from our website.
Upon further review, we determined that the story did not meet our editorial standards. Specifically, it lacked community voices and the context necessary to provide balance. Additionally, it included several stylistic errors that did not reflect our usual quality of work.
We deeply value the trust of our readers and the responsibility that comes with serving our community. To uphold this trust, we are reviewing our editorial processes and providing additional training for our team to ensure this does not happen again.
We apologize to our readers and to those impacted by the publication of this story. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at editors@kensingtonvoice.com.
Thank you for holding us accountable,
Jillian Bauer-Reese
