Things are just getting started here at Quality Will Out Omnimedia (QWO). We want to continue delivering accountable, accurate, and excellent stories via the channels and devices that fit them best. QWO is the foundation upon which we will build our network of publications, services and related efforts.

Those who know the Founder, John Frost, know he is heavily influenced by the life of Walt Disney. The name Quality Will Out comes from Walt Disney’s oft-quoted slogan, “You can’t top pigs with pigs.” Always be moving forward, doing something new and exciting. Disney later went on to explain that “Quality will out in the end.” Meaning that if you focus on delivering the best product, people will find you. Quality is a natural attractor.

He used the phrase often, but here’s one use of it in the context of how he wanted Disneyland to be run:

“Well, I think by this time my staff, my young group of executives, and everything else, are convinced that Walt is right. That quality will out. And so I think they’re going to stay with that policy because it’s proved that it’s a good business policy. Give the people everything you can give them. Keep the place as clean as you can keep it. Keep it friendly, you know. Make it a real fun place to be. I think they’re convinced and I think they’ll hang on after… as you say… well… after Disney.”

That’s the spirit of QWO. We plan to hold ourselves accountable to our name and hope you will too. So here’s to a beautiful future!
