The Spectator would like to take this opportunity to recognize Lucas Phillips ’16, Editor Emeritus, for the direction in which he has led this publication over the past year. In the fall, the paper made a priority of journalistic excellence, initiating the SpecSpeak journalism lecture series which brought successful professionals from the field to speak on campus.
The Spectator has expanded its online presence through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as well as a more motivated use of our website.
We’re also proud of a number of stories we’ve pursued over the last year including our reportage on diversity-related issues and the Health and Counseling Centers and student reflections on the Paris attacks. We’ve seen our content expand in scope and quality, and, well, there’s more of it.
We’ve also modernized our organization’s photo policy, bringing it within legal bounds, and increasing the number of student-generated photos and illustrations.
As we move forward, expectations for Staff Writers will increase. The Spectator is responsible for investigating and reporting on all events on the Hill, and we take this task seriously. We want to encourage curiosity, responsibility and integrity throughout our staff and the campus, as well as show off quality student writing.
We look forward to meeting the challenges ahead.
