Dear Readers,
Some would say you are holding the most important issue of Mustang News in print of the year. This issue is the one we will take with us to our annual conference for judging. Critics and other newsrooms will see this paper and decide if we are creating an engaging product.
While the awards rush is exciting, that is not what is keeping us up late at night — no offense to the lovely judges. Our staff puts in long hours of reporting, writing and recording the community to the best of our abilities because this is our passion. We want to get you the stories that matter in your hands and minds.
The world and school and even some of the stories in these pages can be overwhelming. We want to also be a source of meditation, so take a second and pull out those crayons. This page was intentionally left blank for you to declutter your mind and color a little bit.
This is a special edition of our print because nearly every team in our organization is represented. From all three of our news teams and en Español team, to our sports and culture reporters, a wide variety of storytelling is printed on these pages. There’s even a little goonmogging satire to make you laugh.
This month is already feeling nostalgic. It’s the last month we’ll be the sole editorial leaders in discussions about MMG. Starting April, we’ll begin training the new Editor in Chief and Managing Editor to make important strides for our organization.
It’s in times like these we reminisce a lot about how our paths have converged and separated since our freshman year on the news team. We loved piecing these stories together for March print. We hope you love reading it — maybe with a little charcuterie board and glass of wine.
As always, reach out! We want to hear from you, and we’re serious. If you got a story or an idea for us or even a gripe, let us know. Find that email at the bottom of the page. But for now, over and out.
Sincerely,
Archana Pisupati, Editor-in-Chief
Jeremy Garza, Managing Editor
