Our Voice
Ladies and gentlemen, students, faculty and staff, the Colonnade is back in 2008 and ready to put out the best 13 issues we have ever produced.
Much like many of you, we at the Colonnade have made new year’s resolutions, while still staying true to our roots and cause.
Our resolutions, though, are to keep you as informed as ever by improving the paper’s content in all possible ways. And not only the paper – expect our Web site to flourish and grow too.
We’ve got big plans for all of our sections. News is going to continue to bring you the finest coverage available of the important comings-and-goings of GCSU and the Milledgeville Community.
The Sports Section is going to continue to keep you up to date on all the GCSU teams and intramural activities.
The Features Section will continue to highlight the arts and recreation that GCSU has to offer.
Last but not least, the Opinion Section will continue to give you the finest editorials offered by your peers and instructors, as well as a word or two from a certain newspaper staff.
As always, we’ll strive to bring you comprehensive stories from an unbiased, professional standard. We don’t take sides – it’s up to you to make up your own mind.
This is where you can help us out. We know you have opinions, so share them with us! Our Vent is constantly online for quick thoughts, and for longer points, feel free to send a letter to the editor. You can also leave comments on each article on our Web site.
We mentioned the Web site earlier. You know, gcsunade.com, which we shamelessly plug in every issue? Well, there have been a lot of new things to see this semester, and we’re proud to announce even more new projects for this new semester.
We’ve been adding photo slideshows to stories that were visually interesting to help immerse you in the event. Our Public Safety Report is back with a vengeance, with Podcasts that will be available for download each week.
But to make this work, we’re going to need your help. We’ve already mentioned that we want your opinion, but we NEED your feedback in order to make this paper the best it can be for the students, faculty and staff of GCSU.
If you see one of our reporters roving, walk up and say hello. We’re always on the lookout for people to share with us the news and events we may have overlooked, or are not aware of, so do let us know if there is anything you think is newsworthy going on.
We want to know what’s going on with you – that’s what we’re here for.
Once again, feel free to submit any questions, concerns or comments to us at colonnadeletters@gcsu.edu so that we can know exactly what it is that our readers want.
It’s your right to know.
It’s our duty to inform.
The Colonnade, 2008
