EDITORIALPOLICIES
(http://mobilehomeparkmagazines.com/mhbsite/editorial/rules.aspx)
The Mobile Home Board publications informs and pro-motes the mobile home system; residents, managementand those that serve the mobile home community.The Mobile Home Board publications are not politicaltools. They are a source of information and enjoyment for park residents. To ensure this policy we have developedthe following guidelines:
Editorial Guidelines
:
• Editor is responsible for gathering information andsending it to us in a form they want. Each editor mustallow all resident’s organizations and management to par-ticipate in the publication.•The publication is not to be used for disputes by either residents or management. Mobile Home Park Magazinesmust remain neutral in all resident/management issues topreserve the integrity of the magazine. Not all residentsare on one side or the other of an issue. Since we do notresearch each story, we cannot use Mobile Home ParkMagazines to weigh either side of these very fragile rela-tionships.• Resident political organizations are asked to limit their information to meeting notices and reports of chapter meetings. • No listings of in-park-services (i.e. babysitting,handymen, Avon, etc.)
