See store for details. It's about trust. Our re- lationship with our readers is built on transparency, honesty and integrity. As such, we have launched a trust initiative to tell you who we are and how and why we do what we do. This column is part of that pro- ject. In an age of misinforma- tion, World News Day 2020 -- set to take place Sept. 28 -- aims to raise public awareness of the critical role that journalists play in providing credible and reli- able news, to help you make sense of the rapidly chang- ing world around you. True journalists like ours do the shoe leather kind of work that involves getting out from behind a computer and hitting the streets to interview real people. While our award-win- ning journalists write about community news events, not world news, our content isn't any less im- pactful. In fact, one could argue community news is more impactful in your ev- eryday lives. Our ongoing extensive COVID-19 coverage is a prime example. Every day for months, we have pro- vided you with updates on local case numbers and outbreaks along with ev- erything you need to know to make informed deci- sions surrounding the pan- demic. We strive to be on top of breaking community news around the clock and pro- duce a wide range of con- tent aimed at being helpful, relevant and timely. While our online news operations are key as we move forward, our tradi- tional newsprint editions remain trusted sources of information that people turn to, to cut through all the online clutter. On Sept. 28, let's cele- brate together. Watch our social media channels as our journalists highlight the work they are most proud of -- information they carefully gathered and presented in the form of the written-word, pho- tography or multi-media, all for a very valued audi- ence. Thank you for reading. Karen Miceli is manag- ing editor of the Burling- ton Post, Oakville Beaver, Milton Canadian Champi- on and Georgetown/Acton Independent and Free Press.
