Integrity on the Record – Why Court Reporting Needs Truth, Not Intimidation

Integrity is the backbone of court reporting—yet too often, reporters who speak out are punished instead of praised. Loyalty is demanded, while truth is silenced.

Carol Reed Naughton’s victory in the NCRA VP race is more than a win—it’s a rejection of toxic leadership.

This result proves that even in environments where manipulation can thrive, truth still resonates. For every steno who values ethics over ego—this moment is yours.
