About

The purpose of the Flash is to inform and entertain our audience, which includes the entire Fraser community, on subjects that may affect our readers. We also aim to be an open forum for the audience to be heard and make comments and observations. It is our intent that we provide this information in a clear, meaningful, and journalistic way.

Editorial Policy

The editorial board is the decision-making group for the newspaper staff. It includes the editor-in-chief, assistant editors, and all other writers, web editors, and photographers. The board is in charge of making the decisions on what will go into the newspaper. If a controversial issue arises, it is the common assumption that there will be nothing published in the newspaper that is libelous, obscene, copyrighted, disrupting, or advocating illegal activities.
