Thirty Years, One Truth For the last few weeks, I’ve been thinking a lot about accountability. Not the kind we point outward. The kind we look inward for. I had the privilege of serving as Editor of the Independent for about five years. What I learned during that time is simple: sustainability is a daily choice. Integrity is a daily choice. Showing up when it’s easier not to… is a daily choice. And that’s why thirty years matters. Thirty years doesn’t happen because everything went right.
