Our Story
At the Durango Herald Opinion desk, we provide a forum for a diversity of expression and commentary on news and issues of the day. We wish to foster a climate in which debate about local issues and constructive change can occur.
We aim to create a space on Facebook where readers can exchange intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our opinion pages. We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point with civility.
A few things we won't tolerate on our Facebook wall: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and their substitutes) and commercial promotion.
While most comments will remain posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make these decisions as carefully and consistently as we can.
