Every year the Emerald seemingly goes through changes: some good, some bad, some for no reason and others with great clarity in mind.
We’ll leave it to readers to evaluate how things end up, but here’s the plan:
Page one: Here readers find the stories most important to the University community. Typically, these stories will be campus-related and written by Emerald staffers. On occasion, national or international stories will find their way onto the front, and these stories won’t likely be written by Emerald reporters or editors.
Commentary: This section is always going to be on page two, and it’s reserved for the editorial — the voice of the Emerald — columnists and community members.
Nation and World: The Emerald has reserved a small section of the paper, usually on page two or three, for issues and events outside of the state. There will generally be at least one story pulled from a wire service.
Pulse: The entertainment section of the newspaper comes out every Thursday. Pulse covers the local music scene, includes things such as art and poetry, and has movie, CD and restaurant reviews. This year we’re extending an offer to readers to contribute material for publication: photos, drawings, poetry, whatever.
Sports: Often considered the bread and butter of the Emerald, the sports section offers readers their daily assortment of Duck analyses and recaps.
So that’s it; I hope you enjoy!
