Aragon community,
The Aragon Outlook is our school’s independent, award-winning student newspaper, which has traditionally been published online and in print most months of the year. Due to campus closures, we will be publishing online on the same schedule as any normal year, and printing a limited number of editions. Our website, aragonoutlook.org, has a full online edition of articles from September in addition to everything you see in this print edition. You can read our staff’s stories about school reopening and local news; we published articles on topics ranging from Zoombombing, ethnic studies and wildfires to economic inequality in the Bay Area.
Journalism, on any scale, plays a large role in our society. As student journalists in this age, we are taking our responsibility to inform the community seriously. We are dedicated to reporting on the mental and physical wellbeing of students and staff and growing inequities that are being exacerbated by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic to provide any clarity we can in a year that is at best murky and at worst treacherous.
Now, more than ever, we are doing our best to deliver a paper copy of the newspaper to the Aragon community and our subscribers as frequently as possible to keep our school connected while separated. We hope that our reporting on good news stories and other lighthearted topics can bring some joy to readers, and appreciate everyone’s continued support of independent student journalism.
Our ability to print and publish the paper, now including an added cost of mailing to the community, depends on both time and financial restraints. We love featuring small and local businesses and appreciate any business advertisements, community sponsorships and subscriptions to outside addresses. Information about all of these opportunities are listed on our website, or can be solicited by sending us an email.
If you have any comments about our coverage please email us at aragonoutlook@gmail.com.
Thank you,
Josette Thornhill and Kayla Shiao
Co-editors-in-chief
