This is the last issue of the Doane Owl for the 2024-2025 school year. While we are sad we won’t be able to report on all the athletes going to NAIA nationals, or the variety of campus events, news, both local and national, as well as graduation, we want to thank all of you for your continued support of the Owl and for continuing to read and support us throughout not only this year, but hopefully in our future editions as well.
A couple of years ago, the Owl had funding issues that prevented us from even creating issues for our readers to read. Now, we have a young, motivated staff, a wave of support from both Doane faculty and alumni and are more committed than ever to delivering high-quality journalism for Doane. None of that could’ve happened without you, the readers, who supported us through every issue and read our work without fail.
Student journalism is important and there is a growing optimism in our staff that our future is bright, that we will continue to write stronger articles, take more pictures and hone our graphic design skills. Student journalism is, first and foremost, a student venture.
It’s an opportunity for students to go out in the field, interview sources and create stories that have real meaning, each one giving a learning experience. The Doane Owl helps to flesh out Doane; we exist to tell those stories that are meaningful and important for the campus and we want to assure you that this is the start of a new golden age of student journalism at Doane. That next year we will continue to work even harder, learn even more and tell even more stories that matter.
Again, thank you for following us throughout this school year and we look forward to seeing you again next year. Thank you!
