Janice:

I am NOT "Editor in Chief" nor am I engaged in censorship. I am an *editor* of KC Indymedia and as one of our editors, it's my job to hide articles according to our policies. Any of the other editors can do this "fun" job, if they choose to spend time doing it. You'll see on most of the items that I've deleted or hidden that I've explained my decisions.

You have discovered one of the fun jobs involved in running an Indymedia website. The reponsibility of editing the newswire can be taken up by other editors. Other volunteers can learn to be editors. Most of my work as an editor each day involves moving stories mistakenly posted to the local newswire over to the national/international newswire. That's mostly what I do as an editor here--sometimes I promote articles to features when the editorial group decides.
