Mission Statement: Why are we here?

In partnership with the community, we are dedicated to:

• Producing an economically sound newspaper

• Recording history of the community and its people

• Ensuring the quality of life in Blooming Prairie and Steele County

Steele County Times is a newspaper with a county vision and community perspective. Its staff covers Steele, Mower, Dodge and Freeborn Counties.

            Journalistic excellence is demonstrated through our dedication to achieving the highest professional standards for quality, accuracy and fairness as we fulfill our role of gathering, evaluating and disseminating information that serves the public interest and helps people in their daily lives.

            Citizenship requires giving back to the communities where we do business, both as a Company and by encouraging employee involvement in civic and charitable activities.

            Diversity means building an organization that reflects the changing demographics of the community. We value differences in ideas, people and cultures, and we seek to reflect these differences in our products and services.

            Employee involvement is critical to achieving the Company's goals. Success comes from utilizing the knowledge, imagination and energy of people throughout the organization.

            Financial strength is the foundation for all that we do. We are committed to creating value for our shareholders, customers and employees.

            Innovation takes continuous creativity and discipline in bringing new products and services to our customers and redefining how we work.

            Integrity is a personal commitment. It must be reaffirmed every day - in every story written, every advertisement that is placed and every customer served.

            Teamwork is the way we pursue our business strategies, sharing ideas and resources, focused on the customer and not organizational boundaries.
