As we are expected to do as students, I am moving on. Some of the students, staff, and administration individuals reading this will be celebrating at the thought. Some, who have supported the Northern Light and the independent thought of its student writers over the past year, will be sad to see me go. As editor, I have been tough and honest, and I have reached many of our goals for this publication. I wanted to give the paper professional, edgy, and individual voices in its writing, improve the graphics section, and win awards.
Journalism is, by all rights, a higher calling.
It is not priesthood, but it is all that keeps a check on some forms of power. Knock it off. Hopefully, this newspaper will always have great articles that don't just bring students information and beauty but will also bring action and thought. It has not been easy. Still, few of these crucifiers have done the research and interviews it takes to be one.
