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.

Actors including Katharine McPhee, Debra Messing and Megan Hilty will reunite May 20 to present a stream of the one-night-only 2015 Broadway concert of the musical within the TV show “Smash,” The Associated Press has learned. It will be seen on People.com, PeopleTV and the magazine’s Facebook page and Twitter. “I do remember how exciting it was that night,” said McPhee. “I have great memo ries of just being so elated to be there.” The evening will be introduced by two- time Academy Award winner Renee Zell weger and will involve memories, stories and comments from the original cast. In addition to McPhee, Messing and Hilty, the reuniting — and self-isolating — cast includes Christian Borle, Jaime Cep- ero, Will Chase, Brian d’Arcy James, Jack Davenport, Ann Harada, Jeremy Jordan, Andy Mientus, Leslie Odom Jr., Krysta Rodriguez and Wesley Taylor. “It’s really just an insight for all the people who love the show and gives them a chance to kind of relive it with us and hear stories that perhaps they never knew, ’’said McPhee. In the series, Hilty and McPhee played feuding actresses hoping to play Monroe on Broadway. Messing and Borle were the book-and-song writing team, Daven port was the quick-to-scream director, and Huston was the feisty lead producer. Origi nal songs were written by the songwriting team of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. “Smash” ended its TV run in 2013 and the cast reunited for a one-night only “Bomb shell In Concert” at the Minskoff Theater in front of 1,600 people two years later, which became one of the most successful fund raisers ever for The Actors Fund. Simon & Schuster CEO Reidy dies at 71, company says Simon & Schuster CEO Carolyn Reidy, who presided over her company with steady force and a passion for books during a time of frequent and traumatic change, died Tuesday morning at age 71. Her death, from a heart attack, was announced by Dennis Eulau, the com pany’s chief operating officer and chief financial officer. “Carolyn was both an exemplary leader and a supremely talented and visionary publishing executive,” Eulau said in a statement about Reidy, who joined Simon & Schuster in 1992 and had served as CEO since 2008. “As a publisher and a leader, Carolyn pushed us to stretch to do just that little bit more; to do our best and then some for our authors, in whose service she came to work each day with an unbridled and infectious enthusiasm and great humor.” Simon & Schuster is one of the so-called “Big Five” New York based publishers, with authors including Stephen King, Doris Kearns Goodwin and Bob Woodward, who in an email to The Associated Press called her “One of the great publishers and book people of all time” and praised her as “both tough and generous.” On Twitter, novelist Jennifer Weiner noted that she had worked with Reidy for her whole career.

For our digital subscription offerings, go to gainesvilletimes.com/subscribe HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be fixing something. There are those around you who can’t admit that the thing is broken. Ignore them; they’ll be of little help. Fix quietly while keeping your eyes peeled for allies. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Real love moves freely between people. If the current only goes one direction, it’s not real love. It’s just positioning, and the person downstream will con tinue to get all the benefit. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People will come to you. You won’t necessarily have the answers, though you will have the empathy to make them feel understood, and the ability to convincingly articulate that “this, too, shall pass.” CANCER (June 22-July 22). Feeling good is the wellspring from which all other felicity will flow. So anything you do to bring health, excellent vibes, positive thinking and levity to your spirit will sunny up the whole scene. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Rejec tion is a tough feeling to give or get. Luckily, today it is avoid able. Furthermore, you are tolerant of those who believe differently than you, because you know that a person is more than the beliefs they hold. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No matter your area of focus, the desire to communicate with greater truth and love will allow you to break open the barriers that were keeping you stuck in an unsatisfying dynamic. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). You want to master your own mind and habits, which seems like it would be the easiest thing in the world to do but instead ranks among the hardest things. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sure, you generally know what you want right away. But the methodical weighing of the facts is still necessary. The best answers will come when you refuse to give in entirely to the part of you that makes snap decisions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Tell yourself what you need to hear to move in the direction you want to go. It’s funny that you can manipulate yourself in this way, but you may as well use the quirks of humanity to your advantage! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The paradox of wanting better is its seed of malcontent. Try a different approach. Try the seeds of gratitude by maintain ing a deep appreciation of your circumstance. It only grows richer from there. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Author Nassim Nicholas Taleb claimed: “Mild success can be explainable by skills and labor. Wild success is attributable to variance.” Which success is the most satisfying, though? For you, it’s the one you work for. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will seize the opportunity to inhabit the experience of another person. You have your empathy to thank. Empathy is always worth developing. It is the skill that allows you to be more people than one.
