In response to Rodney Johnson’s “The Tribune is in denial” May 20 letter concerning the readership, I would like to say that The Tribune seems to be a newspaper that believes in freedom of the press — not in hiding, but giving opinions, whether it’s the staff’s or someone else’s — and reports from both sides of the issues regardless of whether we agree with it. It’s understandable that the paper needs to be profitable to survive and is making changes, but it has also shown responsibility and has been beneficial in keeping us truly and honestly informed.
