After spending the past few months reaching out to corporate CEOs, presidents of organizations, elected officials, and heads of organizations like the SBA, Chambers, Urban League Of The Upstate, and Press Forward (the president of this organization completely ignored me), here’s the kicker: many of these individuals in their current roles will be awarded trophies, accolades, promotions, public recognition, and so on. However, as a journalist, I feel a moral obligation to ensure that the historical archives accurately reflect their character, attributes, and contributions to society in their reporting.
So, I decided to embark on a journey to investigate (hired and elected) individuals in leadership roles. When you have incompetent leaders, those who prioritize personal gain, or those who determine your value based on nepotism or their own observations, they pose a threat to the very people they claim to serve or were hired to serve. Therefore, it is only fair that the record be fairly reported. I firmly believe in the principle of truth in reporting.
