ROANOKE TIMES & WORLD-NEWS EDITORIALS

Editorials, which appear above, represent the newspaper's opinions.

Other views, often contrasting, are offered elsewhere on the Opinion and Commentary pages, in cartoons, letters to the editor, opinion articles and columns. These items are signed, and reflect the views of their authors.

The newspaper's editorials express the opinions of an editorial board, which is independent of the news department.

The editorial board is headed by Walter Rugaber, president and publisher. Other board members, who are responsible for writing editorials and editing the Opinion and Commentary pages, are: Alan Sorensen, editorial page editor; Geoff Seamans, associate editor of the editorial page; and Elizabeth Strother and Margie Fisher, editorial writers.
