Letter from the Editors

Dear DM Readers,

First off, we’d like welcome you to the new year and say that we look forward to serving you with up-to-date and accurate news. 

It is our duty to inform the public, and we hope to exceed the student body’s expectations concerning news coverage. 

One of our many goals this school year is to bring you more news that is timely, but we can’t do this without your help. 

The Daily Mississippian is entirely student-run. We hope that you remember when you read the paper that we are students, just like you, trying to pass our classes and make the most of our college experience. We dedicate a good portion of our day to working on this paper, but sometimes we miss things or make a mistake. 

But that’s where you come in. 

We cannot cover every thing that happens on and off campus, but we would like to highlight as much as possible. It is our hope that the student body and Oxford community will assist us in informing us about anything they feel could be newsworthy. 

Your assistance in this will help us to cover the essentials, as well as keep our community informed on the happenings of our wonderful university and the town that graciously hosts it. 

Also, in the grind of classes and school work, it is plausible that we will make a mistake or misspell a name, and we ask that you point these out to us. 

We need you to give us feedback about what you do and don’t like. If you think we are putting too much emphasis on a subject let us know, or even if you think we’re not giving something enough mention, please give us a call, e-mail or send a messenger pigeon– just let us know. 

Thank you for your support in previous years, and we hope to continue a tradition of excellence. Go Rebels!

Sincerely, your news editors

Amanda Ward and Lance Ingram
