“You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.” It’s amazing how the words of someone born in 1609 could be so aptly fit for College students and various other forms of practiced procrastinators today. But then Abraham Lincoln was indeed looking ahead of people in his day and pushing limits- that behavior is something we the Yuba College Prospector hope to encourage and embrace since we resurfaced. We are Yuba College’s independent News source that has been out of commission as it were for two years. As a news source you might inquire, what is it we plan to do? Why is it so important that we come back when seemingly no one missed us?
Good questions.
The Prospector came back because we seasoned students of the Yuba college world knew that after we leave 2088 North Beale Road Marysville, more students would come to campus and as the way of the world goes, eventually they would leave. No one wants to stay in college forever (or most don’t I would assume); but we do want to leave something for the generation that comes after us. We the Prospector want to plan ahead so we can record the thoughts, events, and struggles of today so that the students of tomorrow may learn from our example-as well as be encouraged to record their own journeys as well.
News like reality is composed of warts and all-we’ll cover Politics, media, academics, students journeys, individual perceptions, societal issues, anything that a journalist can find to write about in this insane world we live in. The primary writers for this news source come from the Yuba College Journalism club which was formed along with the resurfacing of the paper itself which was processed and finalized through ASYC. We encourage journalists to find the truth not only about the stories they choose to undertake, but about what they truly think. As knowledge increases so does our awareness, concerns and our questions. So find things in your community, school, and world that you want to call attention to, change, or better understand. It’s an open forum and we want to hear from you. Prepare the college for the next wave of students by being a part of the news and ask yourselves: what can I write about in todays day and age?
