Some people have noticed our Destinations section hasn’t included a lot of events. If you wanted to know what was going on at USM, our paper was not a good place to look.
If you’re in the newspaper business, that’s not a good thing.
So I’ve decided we’re going to do things a little different.
The Free Press encourages you to send us information about your upcoming events. This is not new. We’ve always asked groups to send us event listings.
But from now on, The Free Press will make a serious effort to put them all in our paper. It just makes sense. We’re a campus newspaper and we should be a resource for people who want to know what’s happening on campus.
Our new Arts and Entertainment Editor Scott Marcoux will head the project, so let him know what’s going on. We want to know about guest speakers, comedians, student group meetings, protests, whatever, as long as it’s USM related.
So e-mail Scott your listing and leave a phone-number if he has any questions. He can be reached at: [email protected]
