Eyes on EB was created as a community-driven public service to help keep East Brunswick residents informed about what’s happening in our town. We’re proud of the information we’ve brought to the community, especially through our recent coverage of local government, school funding, and other important issues.
We appreciate the many residents and sources who reach out to us with information. However, we want to make something clear: 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗶𝘁.
We don’t publish rumors or serious allegations just because someone tells us they’re true. We take our responsibility seriously and make every effort to verify information through public records, meeting recordings, official documents, and other reliable sources, including New Jersey’s Open Public Records Act (OPRA).

We also understand that some people have legitimate reasons for wanting to remain anonymous, and we respect that. But anonymity does not eliminate the need to substantiate serious claims.
We’re proud that, despite our extensive recent reporting on some controversial local issues, we have not received any substantive challenges demonstrating that our published information was inaccurate. We don’t claim to be perfect, and we always welcome corrections, clarification, and constructive feedback.

Over the last year and a half, Eyes on EB has evolved into a community-driven news and information service dedicated to keeping East Brunswick residents informed. We take that responsibility seriously and have no interest in damaging someone’s reputation for the sake of a headline.
