In the world of lifestyle magazines, we have a code of ethics, guidelines if you will, that we follow like every industry; nothing religious, nothing political (unless it’s paid advertising). If you’ve been reading the magazine for long, you’ll remember that we had Pope Francis on the cover when he visited the border in 2016. The article wasn’t meant to be a religious piece but rather to follow the path of the historic visit. Baptist, Methodist, Jewish—the hodgepodge of faiths celebrated the event that made regional history. Once again, we’re walking the gray line when we feature Beto O’Rourke. More than ever, I believe El Pasoans share a common affiliation. Although we may all fall on different political sides regarding our local El Pasoan running for senator, we must share some pride.
