A typical newspaper dilemma

This week brought up an interesting circumstance that happens all the time at newspapers, and The Weaverville Tribune is no exception.

We received a call telling us a potentially damaging, or at the very least, embarrassing incident for a local municipal-maintained office.

We followed up on the tip and got a slightly different side to the story. No shock there, right?

However, when we went back to the source asking for verification on their story, they were unwilling to provide it.

That's the rub in this business. Our door is always open, and we are always willing to listen to anyone who has something to say. If a claim can be substantiated, then we'll look to do just that.
