To say that we’re not going

to consider the impact of

about harm.

The local public figure’s fair game,

in our mind. I don’t mean hunting them down. But if they’re

going to say stuff, it’s out there, we’ll

report on it, and they know that.

When you think it through and have these discussions, you’re not going to end up with a “thou shalt not” rule, or a simple rule. You can have standards, but then you use judgment as you apply them in particular situations.

Each person has to decide for them-

selves that ethical template. Which is, what are the

overriding needs in terms of privacy

versus public information — or

public knowing.

You know what? People like me need to worry more about the reputation of our site than how many page views we have.

—David Boraks

I refuse to play the game other

sites do, which is, all content is con-

tent, comments are content too,

and if it gets page views, that’s good.

Now we’re starting to get a level of commenting that I’m more proud of. I think it’s a healthier, cleaner discus-sion.

trying to explain why you deleted something, you

wind up just tying

yourself in knots.

There are now no anonymous post-ers on Coastsider. Everybody there

registers with their own real name.

We’re fairly loose about verifying names, we’re es-

sentially trusting people to be honest, and we haven’t had

any problems.

As a nonprofit, 501(c)(3), we’re not

required to disclose all of our individual donors, but we also

want to. On the other hand, some big donors don’t want to get solicited — they

don’t want to be bothered. And I’m not willing to turn down 20 grand for

something like that.

—Scott Lewis

When you’re flying on your own in a competitive business environment, trying to get stuff out there, it’s hard at times, very nerve-wracking, very stressful.

You don’t change the news, you

don’t take down something. It

happened!
