THE PUBLIC EDITOR: Who appeared in The News-Letter this fall?

(12/05/19 5:00pm)

When I started recording data on the number of different types of perspectives represented in The News-Letter, I wanted to give editors a benchmark to measure the scope of each week. That’s not to say they should always strive to increase these numbers — at some point, the paper will reach critical mass and just be too full. Instead, I hope it can offer a new way to track coverage from one week to the next.

THE PUBLIC EDITOR: On print deadlines, making time for sources and sketching the elephant

(11/21/19 5:00pm)

A firm press deadline can feel like the end-all be-all for News-Letter reporters in the run-up to Wednesday night. The news editors wrap up their section and head home sometime early Thursday morning while the Editors-in-Chief send the pages off to print. If they’re lucky, the news team will have time to breathe over the weekend until Wednesday starts to loom again.

THE PUBLIC EDITOR: Popping the humanities bubble, one section at a time

(11/14/19 5:00pm)

As the Public Editor, I scrutinize the ways the paper represents its readers. The News-Letter is a campus newspaper, and undergraduate students make up the primary readership. I think a lot about the different types of undergrads that the paper represents, as well as who is most likely to pick up a fresh issue on a Thursday afternoon.

THE PUBLIC EDITOR: On respectfully representing survivors of sexual violence

(10/24/19 4:00pm)

Four and a half years ago, the University shut down the Hopkins chapter of  Sigma Alpha Epsilon after reports of sexual assault at one of the fraternity’s parties. In an editorial headlined “SAE suspension wrong, requires reversal,” The News-Letter called the decision “draconian,” prompting understandable pushback from readers.

THE PUBLIC EDITOR: Donuts, ad space and alumni: on sustaining print journalism

(10/17/19 4:00pm)

So last week’s editorial was titled “Does print journalism have a future?” Pretty dramatic. I bet the irony was especially tactile if you read that in the print issue. More likely, though, you were reading online. Maybe you were browsing our website or our Facebook page, and you raised your eyebrows and thought, this feels relevant to what I’m doing right at this very moment.

THE PUBLIC EDITOR: On curating a dialogue through the permanence of the printed word

(10/03/19 4:00pm)

The News-Letter got a letter to the editor this week. It’s the first in quite a while — the first this calendar year, actually. In the last two years, the paper has only received 11 letters to the editor, three of which responded to a particularly spicy op-ed arguing that conservatives’ free speech was under attack. This made me wonder: what exactly is a letter to the editor?
