Letter: Political Bias

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

Do you only report about Democrat candidates or am I missing your reporting on Republican candidates some how? The Berkshire Eagle is a left-favoring periodical that I've learned to simply ignore because of their bias. Please clarify my dilemma sooner than later.

I appreciate your efforts & overall coverage but it appears a political bias is showing itself.

Editor's note: iBerkshires covers all local candidates and state candidates who visit Berkshire County (and let us know they're coming!) We have been focusing on the upcoming primary, which has no local Republican races. We wrote about gubernatorial candidate Geoffry Diehl and two candidates who recently came to Pittsfield.

Education Sustainability Group Launches Website, Talks Engagement

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – The group studying the potential for more collaboration among North County school districts Wednesday saw a website built for their project and discussed how it will gather input from community members over the next 10 months.
 
"The website is actually live," consultant Jake Eberwein of Berk12 told the North Berkshire Educational Sustainability Study steering committee in a meeting in the Drury High School library. "We can certainly do some edits.
 
"This is the official launch, tonight, I guess. There are no dead links, but there are areas without a lot of content."
 
Eberwein showed the committee sections of the nbess.org website, including the resources page, which will be key to keeping residents informed about the study's findings and collecting information from those residents.
 
"The last link is the contact page," Eberwein said. "It allows people to give us their name. If they want to ask a question, great. If they want to just get on the distribution list, that's great, too. … I think it's critically important that when people have a question, they get a response.
 
"It's critical people feel this is an open and transparent process."
 
Among the resources on the project's website is a slide show that framed Wednesday's presentation from Eberwein, Berk12's Brendan Sheran and Robert Putnam, like Eberwein a retired long-time administrator in Berkshire County who is helping compile historical research for the group.
