With likely the biggest election of our lifetimes less than two weeks away, the decision of who will be our next president hangs in the balance, as well as a plethora of state and local candidates. If you are only engaging in this election because of the presidential race, or are considering not voting at all, we as an editorial board implore you one more time:
In a time of rising distrust in news media, it is important to establish trust. While politicization, the growing role of social media and the increase in misinformation spreading around the internet has damaged the reputation of news outlets, it is important to remember what journalism should, and in most cases still does, stand for.
The beginning of every new year is a time for New Year’s resolutions. It’s a time for people to think ahead and find ways to make their lives better, by being hopeful and optimistic about the future.

With faculty and community support, FAM enjoyed significant success this year, clearing tough hurdles on the way to unionization with room to spare. Now, the state has confirmed that a majority of full-time faculty and librarians support FAM.
