Editor, the Source Weekly
Gregg: Thanks for the commentary. I'm a big fan of Battle of the Books myself, for the very reasons you've mentioned; the books open up students' worlds to perspectives and literature that they may not get in the required reading of their English classes. Bravo to the OBOB team for continuing to push the envelope!
Thanks Michael and Brent for your comments, and for taking the time to watch the videos to gain some understanding of our process. As always, each of us has the right to cast our individual votes in this election, and we know our readers find value in engaging with our endorsement process, whether or not they agree with our assessment.
We encourage everyone to seek out a wide range of information when making their decisions in elections, including our videos and endorsements, other endorsements, and local town halls and events where candidates are present!
Christomart: This was supposed to be a fun, first-person account of what it looks like to be a shopper at various stores, not a comprehensive investigation of every store in Bend, nor even a news article. The stores selected are where our team shopped during the past week. Thanks for reading.
LeafyLief- I trust you read all the way to the end, where we mention that not taking a bag at all is the best option.
Fixed, Riff! Readers, the event is now updated above.
Viki -- You've honed in on exactly why this story is interesting.
Bill: I think you missed the point on this one. Please, if you can, find one instance in which this publication covered Russiagate (beyond our cartoons, which are not produced in-house and don't equate to "news coverage.")
Re: “May Election Results”
Foster: Perhaps another interesting element here: None of the races this election were partisan, so I'd like to think people weren't colored by any party affiliation, and voted for the candidates most qualified. Thanks for reading!
