You survived your first week of classes. Whether this was your first year riding on the “Welcome Wagon,” or if you pulled your car into campus with a countdown to May 12, you’ve kicked off another beginning at the University of New Haven. For the Bulletin, this is one of countless new beginnings that falls in the middle of our life here on campus.

We aren’t new, by any means. If this isn’t your first time hearing our name, chances are you’ve checked out our content at some point. Whether you’ve picked up a copy of the paper, scrolled through an article on your phone or streamed an episode of our show, I’m sure we’ve crossed paths with you by now. As an organization, however, we believe in the power of reconstruction. This year, we are working to bring you all faster, stronger, more passionate content than in years prior. We aim to get more voices involved in student media, because after all, we are run by the students, for the students.

For those of you who are less familiar with us, we can give you a rundown.

Our newspaper (yes, the one you’re holding right now) is the oldest part of the Charger Bulletin news suite. We’ve been printing since before you even thought printers were invented. We are actively working to redesign our website, which is likely where most of you will click around for something to read when your class lectures lose your attention. We are constantly reimagining our tactics in reporting to generate stories that you all want to read.

Our television broadcast, Charger Bulletin News, has been around since 2015, but is currently under passionate reconstruction to increase our traffic of content and expand the digital media at students’ fingertips. This semester, we will be bringing you our major weekly production, as well as a reinvention of our new daily side shows.

Horseshoe Magazine is our newest branch of the trifecta. Younger than the golden Charlie statue, but with nuance as aged as Shakespeare, the magazine is your go-to for more longform, creative works. You can read these pieces right on horseshoemag.com.

Beyond our major three branches, we are actively working on new projects behind-the-scenes that will create even more platforms for you as the students to exercise your creativity and share your voice with those around you.

We are standing in the middle of a long line of beginnings, looking back on all of the ones we’ve embarked on and forward toward the ones we’ve yet to predict, knowing that our place at the university is one we want to continue to shape to embody the voices of each subset of the Charger community.

We are welcoming a wave of new faces on all levels of the organization, from editors in all three branches to fresh and passionate contributors on paper and on screen. Our doors are always open, and we are eager to keep new voices flowing into our newsroom.
