==Activities==
'''Truth'''​ is the foundation of all great journalism, ​but truth in news is not simply the regurgitation of facts and quotes​. We commit to delivering stories that incorporate the highest standards of journalism through the use of in-depth reporting, data, diverse perspectives, human-focused storytelling, creative formats, and exhaustive sourcing. Our goal is to slow down, to develop long-term source networks, and to pursue stories that help establish shared truth in public decision-making.
Charlottesville Tomorrow is the trusted source of in-depth information on growth and development issues before local government in the City of Charlottesville and the County of Albemarle. Charlottesville Tomorrow’s information is widely distributed to the public through our website, in e-mail alerts, in printed local election voter guides, and on weekly radio programs.


Activities include:
'''Community'''
* information sharing to build community knowledge
 
* research on quality of life issues
We believe that Charlottesville has the resources to provide opportunity and well-being for all of its people, regardless of age, race, income, gender, or nationality. We recognize that our ​'''community'''​ is made up of many interrelated and interconnected communities. In our journalism, we seek to establish healthy community dialogue, to examine solutions that solve systemic problems, and to cover the issues that matter the most to all of us.
* community engagement—ensuring the public knows when and how to get involved in community decisions
 
* non-partisan local election coverage
'''Equity'''
 
By embracing the value of ​'''equity'''​, we commit to elevating the voices of the people most impacted by decisions and policies, and we strive to reach audiences in vulnerable communities with journalism that empowers and inspires them. We recognize that media coverage has a natural tendency to prioritize vocal, powerful, and organized interests, so we work to ensure that our coverage represents balanced, diverse, and equitable perspectives.

We believe that Charlottesville has the resources to provide opportunity and well-being for all of its people, regardless of age, race, income, gender, or nationality. We recognize that our ​community​ is made up of many interrelated and interconnected communities. In our journalism, we seek to establish healthy community dialogue, to examine solutions that solve systemic problems, and to cover the issues that matter the most to all of us.

Equity

By embracing the value of ​equity​, we commit to elevating the voices of the people most impacted by decisions and policies, and we strive to reach audiences in vulnerable communities with journalism that empowers and inspires them. We recognize that media coverage has a natural tendency to prioritize vocal, powerful, and organized interests, so we work to ensure that our coverage represents balanced, diverse, and equitable perspectives.
