The Toledo Tribune is committed to upholding the principles of journalistic integrity and serving our community with honor. In light of a video currently circulating, we feel it is important to address the matter with care and transparency.
While we will not comment on the contents of the video due to the nature of its release, we note that it appears to depict a private discussion rather than a public meeting. The individuals involved do not seem to have been aware they were being recorded.
We have been informed that City-related CCTV footage is recorded in the Toledo dispatch center and is automatically deleted after 30 days unless intentionally saved. This raises important questions about how this particular video was retained and whether it was requested or authorized for public release.
The Toledo Tribune takes privacy, transparency, and community trust seriously. As we continue to monitor this situation, our priority remains serving the community responsibly and with integrity. We encourage open dialogue, respect for privacy, and adherence to ethical standards in all matters affecting our town.
Sincerely,
The Editors of the Toledo Tribune
Barry Bruster
