The reason why The Post is focusing on opioids this week.
Several people have made the comment in the past few weeks that I’m now the lame duck of The Post, which is not totally wrong. I have a few short weeks until I graduate, though I’d like to think (and maybe this is the “lame” part) that I’m spending my precious time still devoted to Baker 325.
This much is clear: newsrooms and their editors like to encourage basic civic duties — especially when such civic duties involve being an informed voter, as that usually requires a voter read his or her local newspapers.
Many of us, whether that be student journalists at The Post or any other student at Ohio University, want to believe that we’re innovators, people capable of implementing original ideas in a creative setting.
For the past few months, reporters at The Post have been researching and reporting on how the opioid epidemic came to impact Athens and Ohio University, all for a special issue devoted to the topic that will be published April 13.
I first noticed a BuzzFeed admittance on a lack of newsroom diversity in October 2015 — right after I had started my tenure as editor.

It’s difficult to determine whether there’s a reporter out there who isn’t attempting to cover President Donald Trump’s recent executive order banning travelers from entering the U.S. from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days, in addition to banning refugee admissions for 120 days and Syrian admissions altogether.
There is no shortage of complex, emotionally heavy topics for a journalist to cover on a college campus.
Ohio University’s campus should have a firm grasp of its interim president by Friday, Jan. 20, when the Board of Trustees is expected to announce a temporary appointment to replace President Roderick McDavis.
New Year’s resolutions can be somewhat trite, and I’m of the personal belief that you should spend the entirety of your existence attempting to better yourself.
There is not usually much time to reflect on a semester well-done — or utterly botched, depending on which stressed-out student you ask — ahead of finals week and the clamor of the holiday season, but I’d like to take a swing at it.
As The Post’s first semester as a print weekly news product (with a new website!) comes to a close, our staff wanted to find a more innovative way to create a final print product that would be primarily based on reader feedback, and would be useful on newsstands while our staff is away on winter break.
Those with wild American ginseng on their woodland property are tasked with combating poachers.
The Post has been a witness to some of the more historic events on Ohio University’s campus in the past century — presidential visits, elections, protests and celebrations — and I’m prone to believe that both our readers and reporters have benefited from such coverage. When the campus’ opinion has shifted, we have followed that tide diligently.
