With the move to Rosemary Street, next year is going to be a fresh start for The Daily Tar Heel.
But it’s going to be an even fresher start for the opinion desk.
I have spent most of my time at UNC writing for the opinion desk. I am proud of the commentary that both our columnists and editorial board produce. We have all sought to enrich our campus and community with well-reasoned arguments. Frankly, I feel we have delivered.
Some of you have agreed, and some haven’t. We are equally glad to hear from both.
And for those of you who have followed our words, now is a unique opportunity for you to help write them.
The editorial board has many positions opening in the fall. We have had a great group, and I am saddened to see many of them go. We are looking for new columnists and cartoonists as well.
As the next opinion editor, I am looking toward the future of the desk. I am hopeful that we can get a fresh group as passionate and pointed as we have had this year. I also want to bring together as much a diversity of opinion as possible.
This desk takes its work seriously. We pride ourselves in writing opinions that are well-researched and that we can stand by.
It is a quality that I know we can maintain.
If you think a position with the opinion desk might be you, then you should definitely apply. If you have questions, do not hesitate to e-mail me.
Next year is a fresh start with fresh perspectives. This is your opportunity to make them your own.
