The Dartmouth is bringing back a biweekly print magazine. We will print our full Mirror Mag every other Wednesday, in addition to our regular print newspaper on Friday. Our daily online coverage will, of course, continue.
As our world moves online, we at The D still feel the gravity of reading from a piece of paper. It is well known that consuming information online can erode our ability to focus and relate to those around us. As a college newspaper, we are especially aware that this crisis of information is potent for young people, who spend an average of 4.8 hours a day on social media, according to a 2023 Gallup survey — which is the most recent data available.
We hope that each eight-page copy develops a life of its own in your hands — that they might be slipped into Jansports, left soup-stained on Collis tables or skimmed at night before sleep. Print is back.
Charlotte Hampton is the editor-in-chief of The Dartmouth. She hails from New York, N.Y., and is studying government and philosophy at the College.
