Ranch Matters (RM) is not your usual Crooked River Ranch Facebook/Website. It’s philosophy
is “Information is Power.”
They acknowledge other Social Media Sites offer a wealth of information, including beautiful sunrises and sun sets, advertising, lost and found animals, but there is no source other than RM that asks the difficult questions, then working hard to get you the answers, the Truth.
RM has been thought of as news “wannabes” “troublemakers” and even Ranch employees have been told not to speak with RM or they could be fired. Why?
RM has always offered stories that are accurate and True.
RM is not a wannabe news team. John Stevens has a resume to prove otherwise, winning the Edward R. Morrow Award for Investigative Reporting, first place AP Award for Best Investigative Report and part of an Emmy Winning News Team that changed banking practices in the Northwest.
Journalists Stevens and partner Dave Stangland have developed cutting edge stories, making a speciality of finding the story beneath the surface.
So next time you read a RM story, consider the time and resources spent publishing this information for you.
