The Oklahoma Reporter is not a newspaper. It is an Internet Magazine. We are a group of writers that read and observe "the news" and translate that news into opinions and views.
The Oklahoma Reporter is a social observer. Our motto "Sometimes You Just Have To Think About It" reflects our goal to not only inform our readers but to make them think about the social issues we might bring forward.
The Oklahoma Reporter is a "Story Magazine". There will be articles that are nothing more than mere stories written for the pure entertainment of reading.
The Oklahoma Reporter provides links to the world of the Internet.
Our ultimate goal is simple. We believe that an informed society that is also a thinking society...is a free society.
There are those in today's world that will read our writings and efforts and rather than think about them...will attack these writings and efforts without any real thought other than to openly say "we don't like what we read". These people are society's bigots, and close minded people. Who have little more to do in life than to condemn forward thought, thinking that is different than theirs, and have no capability to view the world through the eyes of others. We reply to those people..."we are sorry that you have limited you life and intelligence to such a minimum border".
There are others that will actually take the time to copy our writings and efforts and reproduce and distribute such. Doing such is a violation of copyright laws and will be pursued when discovered. Any effort made to copy only a partial portion of a writing to be distributed as such will be considered illegal editing of published/private owned content with the intent to do social or civil harm to either the writer, group of writers, The Oklahoma Reporter, and will be pursued as such using the statutory regulations of the state of incidence and guidance.
All writings viewed in "The Oklahoma Reporter" are owned by the Oklahoma Reporter and cannot be reproduced in any manner or form without the written permission of the editor of "The Oklahoma Reporter". Doing such will be considered a violation of U.S. copyright laws and will pursued as such.
