Welcome to Catawba Valley Independent on MySpace! Here at Independent, we take a fresh approach at bringing you news and information. That’s because we are an independent, community-driven news source. The articles that appear on our site are researched and written by people just like you. Our journalists bring a fresh approach to the news because they aren’t motivated by production salaries or restricted by huge editorial boards.
Catawba Valley Independent was launched because of a failed attempt by other local sources to report the news fairly. With local news executives boasting about their news organizations becoming “an entirely conservative news piece,” and journalists bent on using the news to advance political agendas - the decision to launch Independent was perfectly clear. We will continue to report fairly and honestly on news that is important to our readers, with your help!
