As we wave our last goodbyes, we also pay our farewells to the many events that shaped journalism at Robinson this year.
Our newspaper staff experienced many unknowable setbacks such as Hurricanes Milton and Helene who pushed back deadlines and stories. However, our team pushed forward to cover all needed perspectives and voices that would have gone unheard. While our annual FSPA Districts at USF was canceled, we attended FSPA states in Orlando and brought home eleven all-Florida awards.
We learned from this conference about how fast journalism is expanding through multimedia and the significant increase in the use of AI. We strive to adapt to these new changes and allow it to reinforce our love for the infinite channels that journalism can follow.
Our editorial board and staff writers will be continuing to grow and maintain the standards set by the legacy of the past Knight Writers. We hope to bring the Knight Writers to a new level and bring in new readers.
This issue is filled with unique angles and coverage. We hope you enjoy our first issue and come back for our next ones!
