ABOUT US AND OUR VALUES
The public has a right to know, and
the Forsyth County News is dedicat
ed to that principle and the “contin
ued enlightenment and freedom of
the people of North Georgia,” as
engraved outside our building.
The pursuit of truth is a fundamen
tal principle of journalism. But the
truth is not always apparent or
known immediately.
A professional journalist’s role is
to report as completely and impar
tially as possible verifiable facts so
readers can, based on their own
knowledge and experience, deter
mine what they believe to be the
truth. That is often an ongoing pur
suit as journalists work to uncover
stories and follow those stories
wherever they lead, regardless of
preconceived ideas.
The news they report is separate
from the opinions shared in the
pages of the FCN, which include
those by its columnists, political car
toonists and readers who submit let
ters to the editor.
The presentation of both news and
opinions is designed to educate,
entertain and foster community con
versation. Readers are encouraged to
challenge and sharpen their percep
tions based on that presentation.
And we encourage readers to do
the same for us, offering news tips,
criticisms and questions.
As your honestly local news
source, we serve our readers first.
Find us on these platforms or

firms up and down the Ga. 400 corridor,”
Forsyth County Board of Commissioners
Chairman Alfred John said.
As the “tech capital of the South,” John
said he hoped more tech-based firms will
locate to the metro-Atlanta area, settling
down in Forsyth County amongst compa
nies such as Amazon, Alimera Sciences
Inc. and Siemens.
“The county has been hard at work for
several years laying the groundwork to
create this attractive home for the tech
industry,” John said. “And we are only
just beginning to see the fruits of these
efforts.”
