This is your newspaper, and we want to be your voice—all you have to do is tell us what to say.

    As the University of Alaska Southeast’s student newspaper, it is our job as the staff of The Whalesong to represent the student body and provide the voice of the masses—which is not an easy task considering there are six of us and nearly a thousand of you. In reading this newspaper, you may come upon statements you disagree with and perhaps begin to think, “These people don’t speak for me!” Luckily, there’s a way to fix this.
    In order to truly be the voice of UAS’s student body, we need help from you—the student body! You don’t have to spend arduous amounts of time to be helpful—if you see something you think could be improved, send us an e-mail or give us a call.
    We’re always looking for talented and dedicated writers to join our staff: we still have several part-time paid reporter positions open. If you don’t want to commit but still want to contribute, be a freelancer. It is seriously an awesome deal: you agree to cover an event; we get you free tickets and a gift certificate to a local business. All you have to do is write a story about it and take a few pictures.
    You can also write a letter to the editor or opinion column. Share your views on a topic and get it published so the whole community can see it. Submit a short story, poem, photograph, cartoon, news brief, joke, or anything else you believe other students would enjoy seeing. This is your newspaper, and we want to be your voice—all you have to do is tell us what to say.
