-As Executive Director and Custodian of the Brand, Aksel Ritenis has responsibility for the overall operations of ST media news and editorial functions until such time as he is replaced by a dedicated and more professional team and a Board of management.
He will provide strategic direction and oversight of ST media and news operations in the medium short term and will focus on optimizing the Group’s news resources in line with the business transformation efforts of ST.
“In a ‘post-truth’ world, thoughtful, intelligent and well-researched analysis has never been more necessary. We aim to provide this at the ST by carefully curating News resources and recruiting a team of Citizen Journalists with the knowledge and experience to take the project forward.”
Managed and edited by Axel Ritenis who merely regards himself as a Custodian,. and produced by a team in Sydney, the ST aims to share Community News announcements ,..share Media Releases from the NSW government and Sydney City Council and also NSW Business Stakeholders.
“We aim to make transparent and unfiltered News and Media release available as a Newswire Service,..so as to help you make sense of the news through providing a reliable platform for news and media releases.”
“We offer free access to the exchange of information and ideas, rather than an echo chamber of distortions ,prejudice and the agenda of vested interests.”
ST has no ideological agenda, and we are not covertly pushing any political or philosophical way of thinking. Our aim is simply to preserve the integrity of the free press in NSW by serving as a Community Noticeboard and sharing News and Information with all its nuances and complexity.
“We are passionate about doing things in an ethical, socially and environmentally sustainable way, across all our operations-we, are transparent and have no hidden agendas nor do we represent any hidden commercial interests!”
The Business
The ST is built on trust, truth, and transparency. We are funded through advertising, donations and the subscription model.
-We check our facts and expect our professional Citizen Journalists and Client Contributors/Stakeholders to do the same.
Everything we publish is professionally edited by human beings, not robots, so advertisers can be certain that their products will be presented in a responsible context.
-We reward our contributors fairly, never misuse our readers’ data, and answer to independent trustees.
For everyone in search of open-minded, independent news presentation,.., the ST is the genuine article!
