Welcome to the Fort Atkinson Independent Reporter

Welcome to this premier issue of the Fort Atkinson Independent Reporter. We will be offering

coverage of civic and business affairs in the Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin area using a “rolling news”

format where information is continuously posted and updated as necessary.

Our Editorial Policy is to uphold the highest standards of integrity, fact-based objectivity, and

nonpartisan reporting. We will maintain contact with credible information sources to help you more

clearly understand the goings-on in and around the community, county, region, and state where

relevant. Our nonpartisan policy precludes endorsement or affirmation of political candidates or

partisan causes.

Our news coverage will include – but will not be limited to – local government current issues and

events to include City Council, School Board, and local government boards, commissions, and

committees. Our reporting will also include current goings-on with local business and commerce.

And, so that you, our readers, can participate more fully in the community, we will post reminders of

upcoming events and meetings.

Citizen news reporting is encouraged. Readers should feel free to submit news tips, ideas and

suggestions via fortatkinsonreporter@gmail.com. All such submissions are subject to our regular editorial policy. Letters to the Editor are welcomed. Please email your letters to: Editor,

fortatkinsonreporter@gmail.com, or mail to: Editor, Fort Atkinson Independent Reporter, Post Office Box

632, Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin 53538.
