In the last week, Fox 4 has broadcast three news reports about Ave Maria University's decision to tell town resident Marielena Stuart to stay off the campus except for the oratory and the Adoration Chapel. Links to these news reports are below.
Fox 4 has a "Viewers' Bill of Rights" which is posted on its website.
The Ave Herald wants to hear from Ave Maria residents, students and those who work in the town. How is Fox 4 measuring up to its own Viewers' Bill of Rights? Are they on target? Or falling short?
