Political advertising and announcements

“Given SCN’s mission to help build a stronger, healthier community through consistent, quality communications, it is our policy to remain neutral on political campaign activity. While we seek to encourage residents to vote, we shall neither support nor oppose any political party or candidate for public office. While we appreciate all letters to the editor, we must respectfully decline to publish submissions of a political nature. However, SCN will accept paid political advertisements, subject to our review and approval. These advertisements shall be titled “Paid Political Announcement.” All are subject to SCN’s review and approval. When questionable as to whether an advertisement is political, the SCN board will decide by majority vote.”
