A Letter from the Editor-in-Chief:
Dear Readers,
Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Gabrielle Moore, a second-year student at Lone Star College-Kingwood who wants to pursue a health care profession. To some, this may seem like an interesting combination, hybridization of interests; not to mention, writing, my newfound love for research, and several others. The way I view the many facets of myself as a beautiful hybrid is how I see this college and, eventually, The Howler.
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our online student newspaper publication! We are ecstatic about developing a platform for students to see and share news and voices.
Essentially, this publication is for students, by students. With The Howler, I hope it empowers you in this world to recognize the strength of using one’s voice properly and to stay informative, to keep educating, improving, and accepting yourself.
The Howler was born out of an aspiring idea, teamwork, perseverance, wonderful guidance, and (most importantly) an eagerness to tell stories. With an online newspaper, we can do so much more because of its versatility. Aside from the traditional layout that’s associated with print newspaper, stories will also be told through videos, captioned photos and infographics, as well as supplemental pieces like poll surveys.
Our content is all about what directly affects the students of LSC-Kingwood and what students feel should be addressed on campus. Here is where Student Life comes to life, where silence is broken, and where news is redefined to create a discussion among the student-body, community and to educate one another. We learn how dynamic our world really is and how each change, spoken and unspoken, relates to and affects all of us.
Together we have developed and can further strengthen something authentic and beneficial for our school and community. Together, with the growing diversity on this campus, we can exchange and learn from each others’ perspectives in life. Good dialogue comes out of good, wholesome stories.
As the late Maya Angelou had once said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story.”
Best regards,
Gabrielle Moore, Editor-in-Chief
