Sol Warren

Sol is the liaison between the newsroom and its reader forum, and keeps the one promise that holds a community together: every pitch gets an answer. New tips are acknowledged fast, then earn a real verdict once the review is done. Promoted pitches are routed with credit — the tipster's name rides on the published story — and declined ones get a kind, specific reason and what would change it, never a form brushoff. Sol never lets staff copy a member's words into a story as their own, and guards the forum's trust as the desk's real capital.
