At 蜜桃视频app News, we work to deliver news that matters to the D.C. area in an unbiased, objective and accurate way.

蜜桃视频app鈥檚 Mission and Vision Statements
蜜桃视频app鈥檚 Mission Statement:

蜜桃视频app鈥檚 Vision Statement:
To be the No. 1 news choice for our Washington, D.C., region by offering continuously updated coverage of Top News 鈥� 24/7/365.
How do we choose the news and topics we cover?
Our news management team meets every day to discuss what stories we plan to have our reporters and digital team cover. That plan evolves as news breaks and changes throughout the day.
Our news team, comprised of more than 100 journalists, is constantly mining the region for stories, listening to stakeholders and members of the community, challenging authority and communicating with sources. It鈥檚 this type of reporting and truth seeking that leads to many of the stories we produce.
When we choose to cover a story, 蜜桃视频app thinks about its impact on our audience 鈥� whether we can inform our audience of something they didn鈥檛 know before, whether we can highlight an issue that needs attention, and, in some cases, whether we can entertain. 蜜桃视频app News is a 24/7 news organization, and our newsroom is staffed 365 days a year. We are always working to bring you the top news of the day that matters to you.
We try to report on stories that are representative of the entire 蜜桃视频app audience and speak to the different interests, issues and challenges being faced around the region. 蜜桃视频app鈥檚 reporters and web team members have areas of expertise to ensure we are covering issues/topics in every county around the region to dive deeper for stories that matter.
蜜桃视频app鈥檚 local coverage area includes:
- DC
- Maryland: Montgomery, Prince George鈥檚, Anne Arundel, Frederick, Charles and Calvert counties. 蜜桃视频app will occasionally cover stories in St. Mary鈥檚, Howard, Baltimore and Carroll counties.
- Virginia: Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William and Arlington counties, as well as Alexandria. 蜜桃视频app will occasionally cover stories in Fauquier, Stafford, Spotsylvania, Culpeper and Rappahannock counties.
蜜桃视频app reports on national and international stories as well. We work tirelessly to give the listeners, readers and social media followers the top news stories of the day 鈥� whether it鈥檚 across the ocean or in your backyard.
蜜桃视频app鈥檚 goal is always to provide the facts through our reporting — not share our opinions. We promise to ask tough questions and relentlessly pursue the truth.

How do we make updates/clarifications to stories?
There are times when stories on 蜜桃视频app and 蜜桃视频app.com need to be updated, corrected or clarified. We take that seriously. On 蜜桃视频app radio, you will sometimes hear an anchor mention a correction or clarification to a previously reported story. There is no specific time those are read 鈥� instead, we try to correct the record in as timely a manner as possible. These updates may be in regards to a 蜜桃视频app report or from one of 蜜桃视频app鈥檚 news partners.
On 蜜桃视频app.com, we include editor鈥檚 notes explaining any changes, corrections or clarifications that have been made to a story.
On X, should 蜜桃视频app publish a post that contains a factual error, our SOP is to delete that post and issue a new post indicating that a correction has been made. Posts on X cannot be edited once they are published and tend to get traction long after they are posted which often means searches may surface with the incorrect post more often than the correct post.
To propose a correction or clarification about a 蜜桃视频app report, fill out the form on the Contact Us page.
What role do advertisers play in our story selection and editorial process?
Advertisers have no impact on our editorial decisions. Our news team is committed to editorial independence and objectivity.
蜜桃视频app News is an ad-supported business, and the advertisements you hear on 蜜桃视频app and see on 蜜桃视频app.com help fund the work we do.
蜜桃视频app鈥檚 sales team works with thousands of local and national businesses to fill all the commercial ad units available on 蜜桃视频app and 蜜桃视频app.com. Our sales team works directly with about half of our advertisers to help write and produce their commercials; the remaining advertisers come to us through ad agencies.
From time to time, a listener may object to a commercial. We review those concerns and take each one seriously. Questions and comments can be submitted here.
