The Institute's policy is to conduct ourselves with the highest journalistic standards. We check and double check our facts. We clearly label editorials. We take seriously our responsibility to inform our readers about events of importance. The Institute has published a torrent of facts about energy development in Michigan.
Mistakes are inevitable.
As responsible publishers, we correct our mistakes when they are brought to our attention. But when we asked industry executives for specifics to back up their attacks on our credibility, they were unable to do so. For instance, during a public meeting in Montmorency County last August, one executive accused us of a grave factual error. The executive then asserted that he never was a member, never had made a contribution, and did not know how his name appeared on the list. These are just two of the empty charges MOGA representatives have made against the Institute.
