The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit 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 Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions 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.

CELEBRIS REPORT TV medical shows donate masks, gowns to hospitals From finding ways to help others cope to sheltering in place to canceling events, the entertainment industry is reacting to the spread of the coronavirus. The Fox TV medical series “The Resi dent” has donated some of its on-set masks and gowns to a hospital in Atlanta, where it shoots, and the ABC show “The Good Doc tor” is moving to do the same in its home base of Vancouver, Canada. “To the entire team (" theresidenton- fox, thank you for this incredibly gen erous donation of #PPE from your set, including gowns, masks, gloves, and all the things our healthcare workers need to provide safe care for our community dur ing #COVID19,” Dr. Karen Law of Grady Memorial Hospital said on Instagram, along with a photo of boxes of the donated gear. Show representatives confirmed that the gear came from them, and representa tives of “The Good Doctor” said they were in talks with government officials in Van couver about what is needed at hospitals there. “I had a serious discussion with the resi dents about how, though supplies are low, a magical shipment of masks is unlikely to arrive,” Law said. “And yet, a magical shipment of masks DID arrive, in the form of this very generous gesture. ” Grammy-winning artist Lecrae distributes wash stations in Atlanta Grammy-winning hip hop recording artist Lecrae joined forces with non-profit organization Thursday to assemble and distribute portable hand-washing stations throughout Atlanta in areas with a high density of homeless people. Lecrae Moore and volunteers with Love Beyond Walls assembled 15 wash stations, filled them with water and hand sanitizer and loaded them onto a truck for distribution. Lecrae, winner of the Best Gospel Album Grammy award in 2013 for his album “Gravity,” rolled up his sleeves and went to work early, his mind set on helping the less fortunate. “I wanted to continue doing the same stuff that I have been doing just in any city I’ve lived in and that’s just being close to the disenfranchised and the marginalized communities,” Lecrae said. Terence Lester, founder of Love Beyond Walls, told the AP that disenfranchised people on the streets are in need as the new coronavirus spreads. “You know, whether people like it or not, man we’re out here doing our part to ensure that people have access to this basic neces sity during this pandemic,” Lester said. Associated Press CU\RIFICATION State Sen. Butch Miller is healthy and has not tested positive for the coronavirus (story, page 1 A). The positioning of a headline and photograph in Thursday’s print edition may have led some readers to assume otherwise. The Times apologizes for any confusion. TODAY IN HISTORY On this date: In 1760, a 10-hour fire erupted in Boston, destroying 349 buildings and burning 10 ships, but claiming no lives. In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte returned to Paris after escaping his exile on Elba, beginning his “Hundred Days” rule. In 1854, the Republican Party of the United States was founded by slavery opponents at a schoolhouse in Ripon, Wisconsin. In 1899, Martha M. Place of Brooklyn, New York, became the first woman to be executed in the electric chair as she was put to death at Sing Sing for the murder of her stepdaughter. In 1933, the state of Florida electrocuted Giuseppe Zangara for shooting to death Chicago Mayor Anton J. Cermak at a Miami event attended by President-elect Franklin D. Roos evelt, the presumed target, the previous February. In 1942, U.S. Army Gen. Douglas MacArthur, having evacu ated the Philippines at the order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, told reporters in Terowie, Australia: “I came out of Bataan, and I shall return.” In 1976, kidnapped newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst was convicted of armed robbery for her part in a San Francisco bank holdup carried out by the Symbionese Liberation Army. (Hearst was sentenced to seven years in prison; she was re leased after serving 22 months, and was pardoned in 2001 by President Bill Clinton.)

GENE HERRICK I Associated Press Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. greets friends in the Montgomery Courthouse, March 20,1956, as he arrived for the second day of his trial on a charge of violating Alabama’s anti boycott law. | The calendar of events will return at a later date, HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). Doing nothing is one of the hardest things for your active sign, especially this time of year. But if you can manage it, 20 minutes of nothingness will set you up for hours of productivity. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll learn what you want to know and you then, because you’re responsible and smart, you’ll also learn what you didn’t want to know. This is the knowledge you’ll need to delegate like a boss. GEMINI (May 21-June21). “Forgive many things in oth ers, nothing in yourself,” suggested the poet Ausonius. The ancient world was harsh! These days, you’ll do better to extend the same kindness inward and outward. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Confidence is gained by tak ing risks. It’s the only route really. Pretending to be confi dent will usually lead to taking the actual risk necessary to achieve confidence. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be a thought leader today, whether you want to be or not. The responsibility is something to consider before you make a move. “What if everybody did the same thing?” is a relevant question. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It doesn’t matter if it takes a week or a year to read a book, involving yourself in the world between book covers is one of the best things you could possibly do for your inner experience. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). What if you believed that the well was never dry? In some ways, this is true. There’s a time to budget and a time not to worry so much about it. A scarcity mentality won’t serve you today. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) New ventures, new chaos. Excitement and disorder are inextricably linked. And if you want another way to think about it, maybe it’s not “dis order” so much as an “extra order” we just don’t under stand yet. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The endeavor that ap peals to you will be the one in which you are able to radiate your personal style. If you cannot add who you are to what you do, it will not seem worth doing at all. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your experience will be ever- enhanced by sharing. It’s a way to live in the past and the present simultaneously. You’ll forward what you love and enjoy the enthusiasm that ripples back to you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As for those negative thoughts that serve no one, the first step is to be aware you’re having them. Many people tune out the din as one would tune out the traffic noises from a freeway next to home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The way a dog sees it, your hands are absolutely magi cal. They can open doors and manage packaging and are basically the conduits to another world. To feel wonder, take another point of view.
