Welcome back, Warriors! The Signal is ready for a new semester for investigating, discovering and reporting – as I’m sure our fellow students are do-ing the same in their new classes.
The Spring 2015 semester means big changes for our paper that we would like to share with you. The start of spring brings with it a rebirth of nature. The smelly trees on campus will be in bloom, more aggressive geese will block our path to class and everyone will visit the Student Health Center for allergy pills.
More importantly, and less annoying than these daunting realities, is that The Signal will launch a brand new website. Soon to come is a complete design of csusignal.com that will aid us in our shift to becoming a more online-focused, multimedia platform for news.
We will continue to print our paper every other week and still encourage you to pick it up Thursday mornings on your way to class, but we also invite you to take this journey with us into the digital world of media. In addition, our team has doubled this semester, which means we aim to double our presence in every area of coverage as well. We have started out this goal by testing the addition of two new sections in the paper.
One of them can be viewed in our paper this week called Neighborhood, which focuses on community news. Keep an eye out for the second new section, which reports on agriculture, science, technology and mathematics, in the weeks to come. Most importantly, we want to reiterate our main goal and promise: we are a student-run newspaper that works to represent the student body and report objectively on the news events, and all other happenings prevalent to the campus community.
As always, our main focus and drive is always our readers. Thank you for your support and encouragement, without which our work would not be possible. Best of luck students, faculty and staff in making for yourselves another memorable and successful semester.
