Publishing Goals:
JunctionNow’s goal when publishing articles is to keep the public informed about important events happening around them. Therefore, we only report on news happening in Mesa County, Colorado. We do not report statewide, national, or world news, unless it directly impacts Mesa County.
Typically, when deciding which events to select to publish an article on, we look for:
- Emergency response utilizing lots of resources to a specific area.
- Multiple police responding to an area emergent (lights+sirens)
- Medical situations utilizing lots of resources (search & rescue, police assistance)
- Property crime, to empower citizens to pinpoint trends in their neighborhood.
- Structure fires, vehicle accidents, or situations that may be a danger to the general public.
- Occasional oddities or silly happenings.
Things we try to avoid:
- Publishing of residential addresses in headlines.
- Personal information other than name and age.
- Routine medical calls, especially residential.
