Dear Readers,
As we begin the 99th year of the U-High Midway, we thank you for continuing to read and support the newspaper.
This year, our primary goal is to connect more with the students. As a student-run newspaper, we have always prioritized the Lab community, but we hope to further develop this goal so that the Midway represents the ideals of the student body.
We have been given the unique opportunity to create a platform for U-High voices and hope to ensure no one is overlooked. For the first time, readers will be invited and encouraged to provide input on our coverage by suggesting stories through the Midway website (uhighmidway.com).
We recognize that social media is a relevant part of student lives, so we plan to expand our online presence more to increase accessibility for readers and allow them to get to know those who comprise the Midway.
As we develop our relationship with the Lab community, we also plan to improve the connection of the Midway team. Our goal is to increase collaboration and communication among staff members in an effort to maximize cohesion in our reporting. By continuing to be transparent through the production process, we can ensure organized and comprehensive coverage.
Many stories cannot be told with only words, so we will also incorporate more engaging components online like videos and audio. With more multimedia content, we hope to create a more compelling digital experience.
We will continue to work hard to produce a quality newspaper for the school community while always striving to be equitable and accurate in our reporting, but we also welcome new change and improvement. We look forward to covering this year through all of its highlights and memorable moments.
Thank you for your support and for reading the Midway.
Audrey Park, Katie Sasamoto-Kurisu and Sahana Unni
