As many of you know, The Spokesman-Review commissioned an independent audit of the newspaper's River Park Square coverage.

The audit was conducted by the Washington News Council, an independent, non-profit body that monitors media ethics in the state.

The audit has been completed and will be published in Sunday's paper (May 6) along with a response by me. It also will be available online at spokesmanreview.com and wanewscouncil.org.

Our web posting will have the "comments" feature enabled so that readers can respond to the report.

I'm sure we'll be writing about it next week.
