Serving The Public Interest Without Fear Or Prejudice
Newsroom Magazine's principal mission is to credibly and responsibly inform readers about the world in which we live.
Skeptical Editing
What we present as fact is to the best of our knowledge true and sufficiently revealed to be relied upon.
Relevancy
What we publish is selected based on its news value and/or its national or global relevance to responsible citizens and those who seek to govern them.
Probity
What we publish is chosen to provide meaningful insight into, or clearer perspective about the world in which we live.
Fidelity To Fact
The foundations upon which our mission rest are fairness, accountability, responsibility and fidelity-to-fact.
Public Interest
Serving the public interest without fear or prejudice rests upon our collective commitment to a clearly defined code of ethics, and consistently applied journalistic standards and editorial practices.
The journalistic mechanisms by which we stand and to which we commit our reputation are credibility, relevancy and probity.
Searchable Repository
Fulfillment of our mission rests, in part, on Newsroom Magazine's searchable and globally visible repository of everything we publish.
Our mission requires that we record and index reports, findings and official statements about the role of government(s) in the world in which we live that are based upon editorial selection predicated upon credibility, relevancy and probity.
Governmental Content
To fully understand what government is doing, or failing to do, depends on a broad range of information about world and national issues and events. We focus on national and international stories -- most of which are related to U.S. government actions, decisions, legislation, regulation and military matters.
Spin And Propaganda
Government generated news and information is no more forthright, or accurate, or fair, or complete than any other source of information whose content is intended to support, explain or spin a single viewpoint. Governmental news releases, statements or testimony is by definition propaganda -- no matter how much substantive information surrounds it.
Information That Matters
Newsroom Magazine does not edit or modify government provided information, but we do consciously select and publish content that contains explicit information worthy of being permanently visible online.
What Government Says Matters
While our editors seek to publish government-sourced information for its factual foundations we knowingly publish, from time to time, governmental materials that are egregiously overstated, highly politicized, slanted to administration policy, or simply foolish or misguided.
Unvarnished Reality
What we publish is intended to provide the reader an unfiltered glimpse of government. We offer neither support for that which is best, nor criticism of that which is not. Our job is to validate that the source materials published by Newsroom Magazine are legitimate government delivered information.
The government, department, agency, or authority to which the content is attributed is solely responsible for the credibility, accuracy and fairness of what they said and how they said it.
World Wide Reference
Being an on-line publication means that the immense indexing capabilities inherent in our database(s) makes our content a repository of news and information that is easily accessible by anyone, anywhere and any time.
Responsible Adults, Skeptical Editing, Thoughtful Commentary
Those who form, select, edit, oversee, manage and/or author Newsroom Magazine content are charged with fulfilling our mission by way of a narrative, opinion, commentaries, essays, editorials, news analysis, and stories about the human condition and/or the American Experience.
Supplemental Content
Narrative content published by Newsroom Magazine is supported, when and where appropriate, by utility resources including definitions of terms or words that appear in both narrative and news content and/or logical definitions and constructs.
Newsworthy Content
In fulfillment of our mission we pledge to be responsible, credible and journalistically sound so that we might deliver newsworthy information and materials including that which reveals government in its own words absent fear or prejudice.

The earthquake triggered a one metre sea level rise in some areas and prompted evacuations, but according to media reports, no deaths, injuries or serious damage have been noted. Media reports said the earthquake’s epicentre was about 245 kilometres south-east of the city of Kamiashi at a depth of about 36 kilometres.

Nuclear Plants In Japan Operating Normally Following Earthquake – UN Atomic Agency
New York, Dec 7 2012
Nuclear plants near the region that was hit by a 7.3 magnitude earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan appear to be operating normally, the United Nations atomic energy agency said today, adding that no emergency measures have been put into place so far.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it had been in contact with Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) to collect information about the status of nuclear power plants that could be affected.
“Nuclear power plants in the region nearest to the epicentre of the earthquake have reported to NRA that they have detected no trouble and that no emergency measures have been activated,” said IAEA’s spokesperson, Gill Tudor.
The earthquake triggered a one metre sea level rise in some areas and prompted evacuations, but according to media reports, no deaths, injuries or serious damage have been noted. Media reports said the earthquake’s epicentre was about 245 kilometres south-east of the city of Kamiashi at a depth of about 36 kilometres.
Ms. Tudor said the IAEA has offered its good offices to Japan and reaffirmed its readiness to provide assistance if the Government should request it.
In March 2011, Japan was struck by an earthquake and tsunami that killed more than 20,000 people in the eastern part of the country. In addition to causing widespread destruction, the tsunami also slammed into the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station, located in Fukushima Prefecture, disabling cooling systems and leading to fuel meltdowns in three of the six units.
The accident, which was reported to be the worst nuclear accident since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, shook the nuclear industry, regulators and governments; and weaknesses in the design and various oversights in the power station were later identified, which could have diminished the damage. Since then, the Japanese Government has significantly increased its efforts to improve its early warning systems and nuclear safety measures.
