…it’s a blog!

Hey all, and welcome to the Colby Echo‘s first-ever editor blog: Echoes from the Editors.

I’m often asked who we are at the Echo, how we choose our stories, our staff, and how the paper gets printed each week. Here on our blog, you can follow our journey from ideas to print, one semantic snafu at a time. We’ll talk about our experiences as student journalists and also just students– what’s really going on around campus. Who’s talking (or not talking) and why. What issues are students most concerned about on the Hill, around our local community, and all over the world.

Our contributers will almost exclusively be editors past and present, and we’ll cover all kinds of issues. One of the beautiful things about being a part of a student-run newspaper at Colby is that we have true autonomy in deciding what we cover and how we cover it, and that same free voice will carry over into this new and exciting forum.
