This week, thousands of people will flock to Court Street for the annual Athens Halloween Block Party, and The Post will be there to cover it. Among the ghouls and goblins will be Post reporters writing about events taking place and interviewing fellow partygoers.

After going through an entire academic year with a weekly tabloid as a new norm, Post staffers had the chance to look back and see what we could do differently. Many people reached out about having photos displayed prominently on the cover, and this year, that is something we have been working on.

Each week, we look to have stories on our website that we have not told before. We try to feature those stories prominently in our weekly tabloid as well. This week’s cover story is about field hockey, which has never been featured on the cover of our tabloid before.

As you scan through this week’s paper, you will notice a certain theme. Post staffers have been planning for a couple months to make for our first special edition of the 2017-18 academic year all encompassing of Ohio University’s new president, Duane Nellis.

As a new academic year begins, it is time to reevaluate.
For many, that can mean reflecting on past years, adjusting schedules, figuring out how to best manage time and deciding how to make this year even better than the last. Some people will realize that 8 a.m. class is just not going to work out while others will say their schedule works perfectly. Each year is a time for some changes, and a time to do better.
Each year at The Post, we also take time to reevaluate. We ask ourselves what new skills we can learn while better serving our audience.
At this time last year, The Post was in the midst of a digital transition. We completely revamped our website and transitioned from a daily broadsheet to a weekly tabloid. Throughout the past year, we learned a lot about our readers and how to best utilize our website and tabloid. As we begin this year, we want to make The Post even better than before.
This year, we plan to focus even more on our digital medium, to produce more multimedia content and to look into topics that may have not received as much coverage in past years. Overall as student journalists, it is a top priority for us to always learn and improve in anyway we can.
So we need your help in answering the question: What can The Post be doing better?
Is there a particular topic you feel like we do not cover? Is there something we could improve in our current coverage? How do you feel about our website and weekly tabloid? We want to do better.
And finally, we want to have new voices in our newsroom. Being able to work with people from varying backgrounds with different life experiences allows everyone in the newsroom to gain another perspective. It helps us tell stories from different lens and to determine what makes something newsworthy to certain audience. Whether is is through reporting, an opinion column or a video, having a different voice helps us grow and connect to people who haven’t read The Post before.
If you are interested in helping us expand our lens or just want to share some information, stop by Baker 325 anytime or send me an email at eb823313@ohio.edu so we can start a conversation. If you want to become a Post staffer (or learn more about what that means), stop by Schoonover 145 at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 31 for an informational meeting (and some ice cream.)
Again, we are always open to new ideas, new opinions and new voices. So as the year begins, help us reevaluate and become the best outlet we can be.
