We thought it would be a good idea to explain the underlying philosophy and goals of the Concord Magazine Blog. All publications have biases and bents -- from the finest to the least. To not admit having any would not be honest -- or even human. Best we be clear about our agenda, knowing one will always exist.
The Concord Magazine Blog seeks to:
The Concord Magazine Blog seeks to:- Celebrate and enjoy the many wonders of our community, its people, history, and culture.
- Promote the open, active, transparent practice of democracy in Concord by the most people possible, and for the greater good of the community.
- Empower individuals citizens to use their strengths, gifts and abilities for the greater good of life in Concord.
- Use simple technology to help strengthen and weave together the community.
- Publish information and minority opinions that might not otherwise be heard widely.
- Quickly communicate information that is time-sensitive.
- Be realistic and unflinching about how we can improve our town.
- Able to report on all Concord news and events -- as a volunteer organization, we just can't manage it!
- Too polite and genteel to ruffle anyone's feathers -- local birds, please take note!
