Fulfilling the mission

The mission of the Pine Tree Watchdog:


Mission: The Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting will keep citizens informed about their government and their public servants through high-quality, independent investigative reporting that is published by media outlets across the state.

Then the question is, does it fulfill the mission?

The stories on the website include stories about Wind Power and the way residents feel about it; Pharmacist drug abuse; and even Lepage-Cain financial disclosure.

As far as I can see, Watchdog does its job. Every story I scroll through is about Maine's citizens and their government or issues within the state. There are stories about local people that are doing crimes throughout the state, but there are also stories where the citizens get an active chance to voice their opinions. Does it fulfill its mission? I think so. The stories seem to be well-thought out and in-depth. Though I don't know where the first part to the pharmaceutical story went. I would like to read Part 1.
