The Sonoma Valley Wag is a weekly newspaper for Kenwood, Glen Ellen, and Oakmont, edited and published by Kit Barron.
How it is made
The Wag is assembled with the help of automation and artificial intelligence. Each week our tools read hundreds of public sources — government feeds, agency releases, public data and records, community calendars, and the valley’s own institutions — and draft from them. A human edits before publication.
What we stand behind
Every statement about a person, a place, or a public decision is checked against its source. We do not invent quotes, names, or facts. Our data desks report only what the public record and the instruments actually say.
Sourcing
We summarize and link; we do not reprint other people’s work. Headlines carry through to the original. Photographs are used under their licenses and credited to their makers. Historical material is public domain, credited to the archive that preserved it.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we correct it quickly and in plain view. Tell us at [email protected].
