Dear Readers,
Hello, and welcome to Issue 10!
Today is an important day for New York City politics, as the city looks to elect a new mayor after months of debates and candidates campaigning across the five boroughs. For those of you who are eligible to vote in NYC, I cannot encourage you enough to get to the polls today and make your voices heard. I speak frequently about how journalism is an integral part of our democracy, but physically getting out and voting is even more so. If you’re unsure where your local pollsite is, you can check here.
Even if you’re not eligible to vote in this election, including being registered in your hometown (as I am) I hope you still take today as a reminder of how powerful it is to have a voice – no matter what means you’re making it heard through. Every contribution matters in shaping the community we’re a part of, both on campus and far beyond.
In Issue 10, we bring you coverage on all aspects of the campus community from the week. For news, we cover MU’s ranking in the Wall Street Journal as well as a Manhattan Caucus focused on the mayoral race. In features, we bring you a Voices on the Quad from Halloween and coverage on a co-run writer’s forum from Manhattan Magazine and Logos. In A&E, we cover a faculty guitar recital celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month and a Book Nook on “The Open Boat”. Lastly, in sports we cover Athletics’ new partnership with The Zone app and a Games of the Week. We hope you’ll check it all out!
A reminder that we’ll be back next week with a double issue, including our fall special issue and Issue 11, both in print and online! We can’t wait to show you all what we’ve been working on over the last month, and are even more excited to have our stands on campus filled once again.
Until next time,
