When I teach my students to read critically, especially on the internet, one of the first things they need to pay attention to is the source of the information. An anonymous "board of editors" (as with the Langley Record) has little authority or credibility--so why would an "independent news portal" buy them out? And why should a news portal have to proclaim its "independence"?
I also think people posting comments anonymously have less credibility... but perhaps others disagree?
Langley Today is not anonymous and it is more than a "news portal". The group also owns Abbotsford Today and Chilliwack Today and provide excellent local content.
Dear Langley Record Editor; is your anonymous Editorial Board of 15 persons going to be working or assisting over at Langley Today? If so will any of them be identified? Since credibility has been such a hot topic in Langley these recent days, your blog has an opportunity to come clean now and disclose who are/were the principal creators and operators of "The Langley(broken)Record". If not, then, just as Jonathan Dyck said, your blog "has litte authority or credibility".
The tracking of who reads us does not add up to what you say "Longterm Langley Taxpayer". We have enjoyed great credibility and great readership. Of late, the regional media have come to us as we recently broke a story about 5 days before the big media did. Our Board never came "clean" with names because a certain member of Township Council ran a blog and always denied who the editor of that blog was. You should really do your homework my friend.
Langley Today is what it is and full names are published. We suggest you post your comments there.
