Dear Editors,
On the occasion of Scholastic Journalism Week, I’d like to offer congratulations for the fine work of the Blackfriar Chronicle this year.
One thing I noticed is the increase of real time reporting of campus activity via their website. This is a fantastic development. Recently, I saw Alex Haylock at intramural basketball games with a notepad and camera. I go home and boom: the Friar’s Lantern website blasts out a wonderful story on the games and the trend of student participation. This type of reporting helps build strong fabric in our community.
On a more serious note, our entire world is confronting the issues of digital literacy and understanding the nature of sources of information. The Blackfriar Chronicle is a great entry platform for all of our students to enter into these conversations as active and informed citizens.
Sincerely,
Mr. James Stinger
Math Teacher
