Here at Louisville Mojo we have been watching local political reporting for the past six years, mostly staying out of it.

Well, given that we are more excited to wax journalistic these days, we're now rallying reporters, pundits, politicos, and those other descriptors occasionally assigned to the good folks who keep debate fiery and offer genuine critique of would-be and actual politicians and their appointed counterparts.

To that end, Louisville Mojo will NO LONGER ACCEPT POLITICAL ADVERTISING.

We will voice our opinions, provide unbiased reporting of the facts, and we will take sides based on our values, but we will not risk being swayed or influenced by the revenue uptake typically associated with local media groups during political campaign cycles.

I invite and challenge our fellow news organizations in town to do the same. Let's rise to the challenge of stringent impartiality, further clarifying the separation between editorial and sales departments.

It's a good move, all the way around.
