If you’ve been reading WSN for the past two weeks, you might’ve noticed that our stories are shorter than they were last semester.
And it’s not just that we’re all recovering from a lazy summer.
One of our goals this year is to cover more than we did before and to make that coverage easier to read and digest. By running more short stories, we hit both of those goals, while also freeing up time for our editors and writers to explore parts of our community that we’ve neglected in the past. (Think you’re in one of those parts? Drop me a line and let us know.)
Over the past few days, we covered things that we might not have found space (or staff) for before — like NYU Press starting to publish books digitally to overcome a rough market, or the closure of a student-run web magazine that covered journalism department speakers.
That doesn’t mean we’re going to be skimping on the big stories. Those’ll still be as long and comprehensive as ever. But we pride ourselves on being the best source for news about NYU, and right now, keeping up that ideal means covering a lot more news.
We’re still working on it, and we’ve still got room for improvement. But it’s just one small way that we’re trying to serve you better. Let us know what you think.
