We welcome reader feedback on our reporting, and our letters to the editor often comment on specific articles. Yet, sometimes it isn’t clear what article readers are referring to. If you are writing about a specific article, it is recommended that you include the date it was published. In the same vein, letters to the editor need to be able to be understood by anyone who picks up the paper that day.

Monroe mayor Friday Ellis sits in the center of a region on the cusp of change. Late last year, Meta announced investment in a huge new data center in Holly Ridge, about 30 miles from Monroe. The $10 billion project also involves three new power plants in Richland Parish to support the data center. Ellis appeared at the Big Towns summit in Lafayette last month, where small- and medium-sized cities celebrate successes and discuss the challenges they face.

When readers question why certain stories get coverage and others don’t, there’s often the implication that these decisions are made with some intention by the newspaper to endorse some activities or points of view and sideline others. But often, many other factors come into play. Sometimes, it’s simply that we weren’t aware of an event taking place. At other times, there may be so much going on that we may not have the resources to be everywhere at once.

Our Editorial Board is often called upon to weigh in on complex issues facing our state and nation. Policy debates can have many nuances, and before we form an opinion, we have to do the research to make sure we have a good grasp of all sides. That’s why there is much work that Editorial Board members do that happens long before we publish our recommendation or position on a certain issue. We meet with key players, read legislation and consult reports by policy groups.
