Matthew Broudy

I am the publisher and responsible editor of croton.news. I set its editorial standards and am accountable for what it publishes, including work prepared with AI assistance.

What the byline means

My name identifies the person responsible for the site. It does not mean I personally reported, transcribed or read every line of every article before publication. AI assists with source processing, drafting and review. I review work, consider reader concerns, and correct or withdraw material when warranted.

The reporting process includes source review and automated checks, with different methods for recordings, minutes, documents and data. Those safeguards help catch mistakes; they cannot guarantee accuracy. Older work may predate the current process.

Why I publish it

I live in Croton-on-Hudson and want residents to be able to follow decisions that affect the village. Public meetings and documents contain useful information that can be difficult to find or time-consuming to read. This site makes that material more accessible, alongside the work of other local publications and community sources.

The sources, editorial standards and corrections are available so readers can examine the work and challenge it. The site is independent of Village government and political parties, and does not accept payment for favorable coverage.

If we wrote about you

If you believe we got something wrong, missed important context, or should hear your response, please contact me and identify the article. I consider factual concerns and relevant responses from residents, applicants, officials and others we cover. Responses are subject to the same standards for relevance, accuracy, privacy and respectful discussion as other contributions.
