The inspiration:
& recently, I’ve been thinking about community building. I think physical mediums of connection are increasingly becoming rare, and for adequate reason, but I want to bring back the handcrafted and intimate nature of the newspaper.
I envision people delivering these newspapers at different entryways, and even to first-years on Old Campus.
I was not very involved in JE last year but now I have great pride in being part of the community. My goal is to connect with people and to help people connect with each other. Also, I’m a bit of a nostalgic person so having a tangible representation of the year would bring me great joy.
My vision is that it’ll operate like a silly newspaper, with different columns and pieces of content that are relatively JE specific.
This will largely be a self-directed project.
Current visions for content: Surveys & make posters that advertise surveys in wacky ways - put 3D printed figures with QR codes in fun places. Googly eyes.
Place where people can stick photos of themselves → Photo collage of people in JE
