We’re halfway through the semester. I hope that brings some relief to students, faculty and staff alike.
With midterm also comes election season whether we like it or not. While I would personally encourage all students to vote on or even before Nov. 6, the Banner will not be endorsing any candidates. I believe it is the media’s job to analyze the facts and report them, not tell people whom to vote for.
However, this is the students’ newspaper, so if anyone disagrees with my stance on political endorsements, please visit me in room 115 or send me an email at [email protected].
The Banner News itself is doing well, but we could always use a helping hand. We’re expanding online with our website at www.bannernews.weebly.com and we’ve been working to keep up with our Banner News Facebook page.
If any students are interested in helping the student newspaper, they can come to room 115 to talk to me or our faculty adviser Julie Roosa about writing stories or opinion pieces, taking pictures, selling ads, laying out pages, proofreading submitted work, posting stories to our website and Facebook page and more.
And any Honors students on Boone campus who are looking for an outlet for their Honors projects can also feel free to stop by room 115 and speak with Julie Roosa or I about putting their projects in the newspaper.
I look forward to hearing from you.
