At Eagle Eye News, our goal is simple: accurate, fair and useful local news. Here’s how we work.
Accuracy First
Every story is checked before it goes live. We rely on official sources wherever possible, such as school district announcements, league results, city records and direct statements. When we use outside information, we link to it so readers can check it for themselves.
Independence
We are an independent outlet. No school, business or organization pays us to cover or skip a story. Any sponsored content will always be clearly labeled as sponsored.
Fairness
When a story involves different sides, we try to include each of them. We stick to the facts and keep our personal opinions out of news coverage. Opinion pieces, if we run them, are clearly marked as opinion.
Protecting Students and Minors
A lot of our coverage involves high school students. We take that seriously:
- We focus on teams, groups and public achievements rather than personal details.
- We don’t publish private information about minors.
- We use names only when they’ve already been made public by the school, a league or the family, or with permission.
- If a parent or guardian asks us to remove a student’s name or photo, we will.
Sources
We name our sources whenever we can. We don’t make up quotes, and we don’t present rumors as facts.
Use of Images
We only use images we have the right to use: our own photos, licensed stock images, or images shared with permission and credited.
