On November 3rd, City Council rehired OneCity to operate Peterborough's sole low-barrier shelter, months after it discontinued much of its funding. But could this all have been avoided?
I have been fortunate enough to make my grand debut at City Hall alongside Arthur’s Editor-In-Chief and City Hall regular, Sebastian-Johnston Lindsay on May 8th, where I willingly dove head first into a municipal pit of snakes to witness the unfolding of what can only be described as a middle school fight over who gets to kick the ball at recess.
A newspaper doesn’t exist to pacify the feelings of a community or those elected to do a certain job. Threatening student jobs and making student journalists feel unsafe on their own campus for doing their job is not equivalent to having an article written about a policy decision you or your friend implemented, protest(s) you failed to execute, or meeting(s) you failed to attend.
This is what the free press is all about. The chance for everyone to voice their opinions whether you like it or not. Here at Arthur, we place few limitations on the content our staff and contributors produce because this is the voice of campus and you are the people providing that voice.
It’s not that the things council are discusses are not important, it's just that sometimes the ways in which they actually talk about them is simply more interesting.
Come May 1st, I will be unemployed. To that, I offer a warning and slice of advice for anyone wishing to take on this mighty rag once Volume 59 comes to its natural conclusion.
