In the beginning, society relied on medieval means of communication. From stone paintings, to parchment, soon however, technology increased and people were able to mass produce text on paper, each evolution becoming cheaper and cheaper- despite what Barnes & Noble wants you to think. Today, though, the world has stepped away from a once popular and revolutionary means of reading. Here at the Jagwire, we like to report the truth, only the truth, and nothing but the truth.
And the truth is, print media is going out of style. For a group of people that have dedicated the majority of their high school career to print media, this was a heartbreaking yet necessary fact to accept.
As a staff, we know and understand that no matter the time or the location, the news is important. After a long discussion and much consideration, we came to the conclusion that it is our responsibility to evolve with modern times and reach as many people as we can. Thus, The Jagwire enters a new era of digital media.
Since February, we've been hard at work trying to balance a new approach of traditional journalism while still utilizing the advantages of the web.
Today, we are overjoyed to introduce the new and improved version of Century High School’s journalism team. Denotatively, we cannot call ourselves a newspaper, but that title, after years of coining it proudly, will be a tough goodbye.
We will still be reporting on all the accomplishments our students while the current issues our school faces, but now, we are more accessible and and up-to-date. Additionally, because our layout process will be shorter, we will be delivering more stories in a quicker manner.
Of course, We'd like to thank everyone that has supported our team throughout the years, not just our current generation of journalists but all past generations that have endeavored on quests for the truth.
Thank you for supporting us Century, thank you for believing in us, and we hope to be your local source of news for years to come.
