MIssion Statement
The Alarm is a new kind of news and information outlet in Central Ohio, combining an interactive weblog with a monthly hardcopy article review of the best of the blog's articles, editorials and cartoons.
The Alarm will be different because it will be written by you. We encourage everyone who reads The Alarm to feel free to write and express your opinion and if you feel so inclined, to become a contributor to the discussion of the current issues that effect each and everyone of us.
In addition to reporting on the day's events, The Alarm, unlike other news outlets, wants to be an involved partner in the political process, helping to educate the citizenry, advocating for progressive legislation and reform, and helping to train future leaders. To those ends the staff of The Alarm will:
1. Provide periodic seminars, group discussions and townhall meetings on issues of responsible citizenship on topics as wide ranging as environmental regulation, energy independence, funding of public school systems, etc.
2. Advocate on behalf of progressive legislation and the leaders who have the courage to sponsor such bills in our legislature, (i.e. an increase in the minimum wage and public financing of political campaigns).
3. Work with teachers to help educate our young people on the importance of civic participation and what it means to the maintenance of a free society. We will also conduct seminars on such topics as public speaking and how our government works.
Finally, The Alarm seeks to foster a spirit of community and charity by doing good works in the community. We hope to be able to substantially contribute to local charitable organizations through donations of both money and manpower and the establishment of community events suchs as local clean-ups, recycling drives and food drives.
I hope you enjoy reading The Alarm and are moved to join us in our efforts to make Central Ohio a better place.
Thank you,
Gregory P. Colvin
