Editorial Policy
The editorial vision of Honduras Weekly is to promote a thoughtful, civil, intelligent, and balanced exchange about news, events, and people in Honduras, as well as other themes. The idea is to be receptive and respectful of everyone's point of view. Our underlying assumption is that truth is not usually absolute... that each of us possesses our own truths, based on our own unique backgrounds, experiences, and intellect. And that thus we are naturally bound to have our own interpretations of things that happen or that are said. We believe that our differences are to be celebrated, not feared. In the end, we can always agree to disagree. In the interim, we just think it's a good thing to listen to as many human beings as happen to come our way, and encourage a conversation... for the sake of the conversation.
