To the Editor:
On behalf of the Fairfield University Student Body we would like to thank all those that have participated in dialogue and taken action in response to the contents in edition 35/4 of ‘The Mirror.’ Your efforts have addressed sensitive issues and lead to positive changes in regards to our student newspaper.
As students, we look forward to the publication of each issue of ‘The Mirror’ as it provides us with valuable campus and world news, along with a forum where we can voice our opinions on matters that are important to us. The number of students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni, and prospective students that read ‘The Mirror’ is proof that it is a vital part of our University culture and community.
All those that have participated in the dialogue and action taken such as ‘Mirror’ editors, faculty, staff and students have all contributed to the positive changes that have taken place. We are happy to see the steps recently taken by the student editors to revise its editing procedures and ethics code along with their interest in developing a post-publication advisory board. Each of these steps will certainly provide student journalists with more support in honing their skills and in providing our University Community with quality news.
Since ‘The Mirror’ is our official student newspaper and a vital part of our University culture and community, its content do impact and reflect upon all of us. Because of this it is important that the contents of the newspaper remain consistent with the ethics standards the newspaper sets for itself and with the standards of the University Community. We encourage all parties that have been working diligently together to continue their efforts so that student journalists remain accountable to these standards both now and in the future.
Once again on behalf of the student body we would like to thank all those that have put in hard work to address this situation. We appreciate what you have done and are interested in what additional measures will be taken in the future.
Sincerely,
FUSA Executive Cabinet
Jeffrey Seiser, Lauren Johnson, David Axelrod, Rachel Feyre, Frank Fioretti, Erin Mackey, Alison MacNeill, Edwin Muniz, Christine Ruane and Nicole Sweeney
