Eric Scotch

Reporter

Eric Scotch is a Republican and a reporter at The Metropolis Tribune. He grew up in a house where the radio was on in the morning and the newspaper was on the table at night, and he still believes that is how a free country stays informed: someone writes down what happened, and the reader decides what to make of it.

He covers national politics and breaking news, including President Trump, the White House and the debates in Washington that shape national policy. He reads the record, checks the facts and writes in plain language.

He also investigates negligence on social media platforms, including what their systems miss and how those companies respond when the public reports a problem. In that work, he defends vulnerable people, including disabled people, from liars who use those platforms to harm them.

His reporting is careful and direct and is written as Republican news. He puts accuracy ahead of speed.
