While this blog has been a joy to run this semester, the time has come for me to announce my retirement and open the ring for all those interested to apply about taking over. As found on the Standards page, this blog exists to complement and supplement The Eagle, the printed semiweekly independent newspaper of American University. Like the paper, The Eagle Blog subscribes to certain ideas about journalistic integrity: The Eagle strives to report with thoroughness, accuracy and impartiality the news that affects the American University community and other areas of interest by maintaining a consistent, relevant, quality flow of news.
The Eagle Blog works to cover issues going on at American and in DC in a way that relates to the campus here at American. The Eagle Blog also has the unique position of being separate from the Eagle on a day to day basis. While subscribing to the same high standards as the Eagle, the Eagle Blog works separate from the Eagle staff with minimal interaction between one another. This allows the Eagle Blog to be its own voice to AU and therefore gives the campus one more outlet of information to better themselves.
If that is not too hefty of an idea for those interested, also realize that this is a great job that allows for a lot of fun to be had. The job encourages you to become better acquainted with the AU community and explore our fine city in a new light. Also linking to funny stuff is always rewarding.
All those interested feel free to contact me through the About page with a little bio, any past experience blogging, and/or any past experience writing.
