Each week, we dig into in-depth reporting and analysis on local issues with the reporters from Charlottesville Tomorrow.
Next up we talk arts, culture, and humanities around these parts.
Charlottesville Soundboard is a member of Virginia Audio Collective and produced at WTJU 91.1 FM, an educational non-commercial, nonprofit radio station at the University of Virginia. Views and opinions expressed by hosts or guests are not necessarily the opinions of WTJU or the University. This editorial and ethics policy pertains to Charlottesville Soundboard’s editing and production process. Charlottesville Tomorrow has its own policies and guidelines regarding their editorial and ethical decisions.
Charlottesville Soundboard will produce news-driven interviews, analysis, and commentary that informs public life in Virginia. Our journalistic endeavors will be guided by four editorial elements:
A desire to nurture our city and area’s sense of itself.
A willingness to explain the systems that govern our lives.
A proclivity to foster understanding over simply sharing facts.
A preference for substance over tactics in covering politics.
You might notice these elements are inspired by Phillip Meyer’s writing on public journalism.
Charlottesville Soundboard's news interviews, analysis, and media on all platforms will be truthful, transparent and respectful. Our facts will be accurate and fairly presented. Our analysis will represent our best independent judgment.
Charlottesville Soundboard editors and producers will edit audio content for length, clarity, and technical quality, but will not alter the substance or meaning of these recordings. We will never include audio generated by artificial intelligence technology (i.e. "voice cloning").
Editorial decisions will be made by our producers alone. People or organizations who donate to Charlottesville Soundboard or WTJU 91.1 FM, whether through financial, service-related, or in-kind gifts, do so with the understanding that we are beholden only to quality journalistic media.
Our producers, editors, and guests include workers, active citizens, and engaged community members in the places they live. We will avoid conflicts of interest where possible, and will disclose unavoidable conflicts.
We will not republish stories, images, or other content from outside sources without permission and credit. Any information taken from other published or broadcast sources should include credit and a link, where appropriate.
