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.

Dempsey Engages Senior Chinese Leaders In Beijing

BEIJING, April 23, 2013 – During his second full day in China, Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other senior civilian and military leaders.
Dempsey and Xi met at the Great Hall of the People here. The chairman also met with Gen. Chang Wanguan, the minister of national defense, and Gen. Fan Changlong, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission. Those meetings took place at the Bayi Building, China’s Ministry of National Defense.
According to senior officials traveling with him, Dempsey began each session by noting the extraordinary reception and hospitality he has received, particularly at a time disrupted by the Sichuan earthquake and in mourning over the lives lost. The chairman also recognized ongoing Chinese army activities, overseen by Gen. Fang Fenghui, chief of the general staff, in support of disaster relief efforts.
In each of the meetings, Dempsey discussed strengthening the two nations’ military-to-military relationships and improving cooperation in areas such as counterpiracy, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, and medical support.
Officials said the chairman and the senior Chinese leaders also discussed improving senior military-level communication channels between the United States and China, developing “rules of behavior” to prevent or minimize misunderstandings or accidents when U.S. and Chinese military forces operate close to one another, and improving strategic understanding of one another’s goals and future roles.
Dempsey and the Chinese leaders also had candid discussions on points of friction between the two countries and militaries, officials said, to better understand one another’s perspectives.
Officials said even as the United States and China take the next steps to accelerate cooperation, Dempsey affirmed the importance America places on its established alliances.
This afternoon, Dempsey met with State Councilor Yang Jiechi. The chairman also toured Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, historically the ultra-private preserve of China’s emperors and now open to the public as a historical site, to learn more about some of China’s history and culture.
