About

The Galesburg area’s newest source for news, infor­mation, opinion and sports is right here. Following closely on the prin­ciples estab­lished by Norm Winick as Editor/Publisher of The Zephyr we want to be a public access news site.

Many of our contrib­utors will be familiar but you will no doubt discover some new faces, including some that will surprise you. And anyone with the drive and desire is welcome to contribute, subject to editorial control.

  • We promise to be bold, brash, forth­right and accurate in our news coverage.
  • We pledge to boldly present opinion from a variety of view­points, but always grounded in fact and presented in a clear, civil tone.
  • We are committed to trans­parency and account­ability. ALL contri­bu­tions will be accu­rately attributed as to authorship, anonymity or the use of pseu­donyms will NOT be permitted.
  • And finally, we believe this site should be as fun as it is infor­mative and thought-provoking.
