The right to endorse

I commend Downtown for publishing candidates questionnaires.

It is just my opinion, but I feel your paper, and yours alone, earned the right to endorse.

The Detroit papers issuing questionnaires and then holding them tight to their chests, and endorsing, are really just exercising an editor power grab.

The Eccentric had an excellent questionnaire, but did not publish it. Smacks of a profit driven, non-local owner using the locals as a revenue source. The Oakland Press did not even send out a questionnaire, and it has become incredibly expensive.

DOWNTOWN: Unrivaled journalism worthy of reader support

​

A decade ago we assembled a small but experienced and passionate group of publishing professionals all committed to producing an independent newsmagazine befitting the Birmingham/Bloomfield area that, as we like to say, has long defined the best of Oakland County. 

 

We provide a quality monthly news product unrivaled in this part of Oakland. For most in the local communities, we have arrived at your doorstep at no charge and we would like to keep it that way, so your support is important.

 

Check out our publisher’s letter to the community here.
