As a newspaper, it's our job to give you both. You decide which you want to read first. It's our responsibility to tell you what is happening in your community, no matter how beautiful or ugly it may be.
We recently received a letter at the Sentinel-Tribune from a reader who had decided to not renew her subscription to the paper. She wrote that she was "disgusted" with the way the Sentinel-Tribune "sensationalizes the smallest negative details about our county schools."
I understand how some of our readers may view some news stories we publish as negative simply because they are explaining unpleasant issues. That's our job. We can't ignore issues just because some may see them as negative, messy or uncomfortable.
I'm not sure if the former reader was referring to coverage of Bowling Green City Schools, but we wouldn't be doing our job if we didn't cover all the controversy around the last school levy request. We do our best to explain as many sides to a complicated issue as we can find.
