EDITOR’S NOTE: Local, local, local

May 14 2014 12:11 AM

While we bring you news and stories from across the world, the country and your province, we know the stories with most impact come from reporters right there on the ground.

Our reporters live in and are part of the communities they cover. In all cases, they have history there and know the issues.

They’re always around town, in City Hall, law courts, police stations as well as coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores and local businesses looking for news and stories that matter. Because what matters to you, matters to them.

As a team, we cover Kamloops, Kelowna, Vernon and Penticton but we work hard to give each city only the news that matters. Infotel.ca is really four different sites with separate home pages for each city. We keep local news local. At the same time, our communities share many of the same challenges and opportunities and we can bring ideas and concerns that can impact us all.

Marshall Jones

News is best when it's local, relevant, timely and interesting. That's our focus every day.

We are on the ground in Penticton, Vernon, Kelowna and Kamloops to bring you the stories that matter most.

Marshall may call West Kelowna home, but after 16 years in local news and 14 in the Okanagan, he knows better than to tell readers in other communities what is "news' to them. He relies on resident reporters to reflect their own community priorities and needs. As the newsroom leader, his job is making those reporters better, ensuring accuracy, fairness and meeting the highest standards of journalism.
