Our motto, “Fidus et audax,” (True and Bold) guides our ethics. We strive to accurately observe and report the facts, and do so without fear.

It is our objective to report in a manner that readers can be confident that all aspects of a topic have been considered, have been comprehensively reported, and the subjects of stories are treated and represented fairly.

The Appalachian Chronicle welcomes various views and appreciates the opportunity to share them with you. Civil discourse requires that we listen to all views on the vital topics of our times.
