Statement from the editor in chief

[Aleksandra Sidorova]

Dear readers,

In this issue, we are releasing the longest correction that we know of,
pertaining to last issue’s editorial
<https://cardinalpointsonline.com/updated-editorial/> expressing our stance
on the Israel-Hamas War. We also updated the web version. As some of you
pointed out, it was hastily put together and published with multiple
factual errors, which is inexcusable for the level of journalism that we
aspire to. However, this is not a retraction and the updated information
does not affect the core opinion expressed.

The way we publish editorials is flawed. Moving forward, we will ensure
that all, or a majority of the editorial board, reads, approves and signs
on editorials. To allow for this, editorials will be written by the
beginning of the week we publish the issue featuring it. Cardinal Points
may be produced solely by a passionate group of full-time college students
with jobs and other personal obligations, but we still owe you our best
work, which last issue’s editorial did not amount to. We will also be more
open to seeking guidance from our faculty adviser when necessary.

Additionally, we want to remind you that we welcome letters and guest essay
submissions. Watch our latest video
<https://youtu.be/nuyejnXCYQg?si=-_b2EMcAI4RI0CzD> to learn more.

Lastly, we are not publishing a full issue next week, but you can expect
breaking sports stories.

Thank you for helping us make the most of this learning opportunity. We
will always strive for better.

Sincerely,

Aleksandra Sidorova

Editor in Chief
