‘Tis the season of change
By: Marcus Dieterle, Editor-in-Chief
Hey there, Towson. With recent changes to The Towerlight’s leadership, I figured some introductions were in order. I’m Marcus, a senior studying journalism and political science, and as of last Wednesday I’m also The Towerlight’s editor-in-chief.
I’m still letting that new title sink in.
I’ll be the first to admit that change can feel a little weird. Whether you’re starting a new major this semester, joining a new club or maybe even sitting at a new desk in The Towerlight office, doing things that are different than what you’re used to can be scary.
But change is also good. It’s how we learn, how we make mistakes and how we grow.
I got to sit behind the editor-in-chief desk for the first time today. As I looked out over the newsroom and watched my talented team hard at work, my fears were put at bay. We’re the same Towerlight family that I know and love (once a Towerlighter, always a Towerlighter). This is the same newspaper that has been, and will always be committed to providing fair and accurate news to the Towson community.
We might stumble along the way. As diligent as we are in reporting the truth, we’re human and we make mistakes. But we’re going to own up to those errors when we get something wrong, and we will learn to do better by you, Towson.
I’m confident in the continued success of the staff of this wonderful newspaper (including Bailey Hendricks, who has started in her new role as associate news editor) and our ability to produce solid journalism week after week.
So please, join us for the ride. Share your stories, your accomplishments and your frustrations (yeah, parking isn’t great). If you or someone you know has done something worth recognition, or you have a campus issue or initiative that you want to talk about, stop by our office in the University Union, Room 309.
And, of course, my inbox is always open: editor@thetowerlight.com
What really stood out for me was the quality of the writing provided by mypaperhelp. It was clear, concise, and structured in a way that made my arguments stand out. Plus, the paper was delivered on time, which was a huge relief given my tight deadline. The customer service was also great. They were responsive and provided updates on the progress of my paper, which helped ease my anxiety about using a service like this.
The image of Marcus settling into the editor-in-chief desk while the newsroom keeps working makes this leadership change feel very human. That mix of nerves and curiosity reminded me of my reaction to the name jeep horror. What matters most here, though, is the promise to own mistakes and keep providing fair and accurate news. Bailey Hendricks stepping in as associate news editor gives readers another concrete introduction to the team.
Marcus admitting that the editor-in-chief title is still sinking in makes this season of change feel personal. The image of sitting at a new desk while the same newsroom team works around him brought to mind gentle fall, a name I recently came across. I especially appreciate the commitment to owning reporting errors. Inviting students into the University Union, Room 309 gives that promise of listening to Towson a concrete starting point.
The moment at the editor-in-chief desk captures how a new role can feel unfamiliar even when the people around you haven’t changed. Your promise to provide fair and accurate news, and to own mistakes, gives the Towson community something concrete to expect. I recently came across sprunki noir black treatment, and it got me thinking about change too. Inviting readers to bring campus concerns to University Union, Room 309 makes that openness tangible.
The moment at the editor-in-chief desk makes the leadership change feel tangible, especially with the same newsroom team still around you. Your willingness to acknowledge errors matters as much as the promise of fair and accurate news. I recently came across a project called マルフォイド, and it came to mind while reading your thoughts on trying something unfamiliar. Keeping the door open at the University Union gives students a concrete way to contribute.
