I am very pleased to announce that, starting today, longtime Arts Editor Emma Zayer will be moving up to her new job: Editor-in-Chief.
Emma has been with The Daily Colonial since day one, and was one of the founding editors back in Fall 2004. In that time, she has grown the Arts section from a tiny […]
Today, I am proud to announce that The Daily Colonial’s new oversight body, the Trustee Council, is up and running.
The council serves as an advisory body, as well as an election committee and a judicial body. Advising, though, is the primary function. As such, the membership is diverse.
I hold one seat on the Council, as […]
Thank you all for the quick and thoughtful replies to my last post. I’m going to keep the position open until tomorrow (November at 11 a.m., and then close it and proceed with the rest of the selection process.
If you’re interested in being the student trustee, read my last post and then email me […]
This year, The Daily Colonial is changing our governance system to be more inclusive and more public. We’re setting up a Trustee Council to provide top-level advising and conflict resolution, and we’re looking for a student outside the publication to help out.

Happy Halloween everyone!
Halloween is one of my absolute favorite holidays. Every year I look forward to Oct. 31 with great anticipation. For the past two years, though, it’s not just the holiday – it is also a very important birthday.

Seriously, though, as a public service, the OmbudsBlog officially advises everyone to switch. Not only will it make our […]
Sorry you haven’t heard much from me yet this semester - most of my Daily Colonial time has gone to tweaking the new site (notice the blog box is reprogrammed today) and writing a new constitution for our rapidly-growing organization.
So, today I wanted to answer a question I get a lot of email about, from […]
Welcome to Daily Colonial v2.0.
That’s what we’re calling all of this – the new website, the new podcast, everything.
All this summer, I and the rest of the senior staff have been designing and testing our new site. Every piece of it is designed to make it easier to use for the readers. Our new front […]
You may have noticed that one of the writers over at the PoliBlog, Danny Kampf, has been making posts lately petitioning The Daily Colonial to print the controversial cartoons depicting the key figure of Islam, Muhammad which were originally printed in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten.
