Transparency

West View Media is dedicated to transparency and accountability in our financial and organizational affairs.

West View Media is an independent nonprofit organization in good standing with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In addition, West View Media is dedicated to being transparent and accountable with our financial documents. As a media organization we believe that journalism is a public service and as a result, our managing editor has full editorial control on all stories, columns and photographs published in The West View and on our other platforms.

We publish the information below to meet our own high standard for accountability and transparency.

We also welcome the opportunity to provide additional information when appropriate. If you would like additional information about the financial or policies of West View Media, please contact our executive director Turner C. Bitton at or (801) 564-3860.
