The Herald is back for a new academic semester with significant changes to our print design for the first time in four years. Over the past six months, a team of talented designers and editors have worked tirelessly to update our fonts, alter spacing and add design elements to the physical paper.

In a March 12 letter, Jack Wrenn GS urged The Herald to consider creating a public editor position to increase transparency with readers.

In 2018, Thayer Street evolved, the 128th editorial board printed their first issue of The Herald and Datamatch circulated through campus.

The 128th Editorial Board published its final issue of the semester today.

The Herald announced the members of the 129th Editorial Board Saturday at its annual banquet Dec. 1. The 129th Editorial Board will be led by Editor-in-Chief and President Emily Davies ’19.5, a public policy concentrator from Washington, D.C.

The Herald welcomed a new member to its 128th editorial board Oct. 9.

Due to a power outage in the early hours of Friday morning, the 128th Editorial Board was unable to print its March 9 issue.

Under the tenure of the 128th editorial board, editorials — which represent The Herald’s institutional opinion on current affairs — will be written by the editorial page board, a group of students who have no role in shaping our news content.
