CCS Mission Statement

  • Our mission is to inform Coronado citizens of community issues they may not have heard about, to stimulate conversation and to allow Coronado citizens a “voice” to speak with through a response comment to an article or a “Letter to the Editor.”
  • This is a community “hands-on” newspaper that allows citizens to participate at will. We hope that you will enjoy it and share it with friends and family in the Coronado community.

Editor

  • Susan Heavilin

Language, Length, and Format

Coronado Common Sense has a diverse audience with different sensibilities and opinions. That said, please avoid harsh language and the use of profanity. Use of threatening language is not allowed nor will it be tolerated. If you would like to include a URL that supports your ideas, just type in the URL information and it will convert it to a link.

I read the following bit of advice on a blog and it matches my thoughts on the matter exactly. Unfortunately, I cannot credit the author because I have been unable to locate the name. I will credit him when I find it. It is not my writing, but I wish it were:

"My advice to those commenting is that in a sense you’re visiting someone else’s home when you leave a comment. Comments have the ability to build up or tear down your reputation. They are a permanent record of who you are and what you stand for - so take care - be gracious - and make sure that they add value."


So I hope you'll join in and let us all know what you think!
