That The Daily can consistently put out a newsletter five days a week has always amazed me. While editor-in-chief last year, I was acutely aware that there wasn’t a great reason why a bunch of 20-somethings should come together to write 20-40 articles a week. No one has to do it. Most staffers don’t intend to become journalists. And yet. I guess what sort of perplexed me was that many things at Stanford can feel self-serving. You take a class to try and find a mentor.

Like most students in the class of 2024, I began my time as a Stanford student online, living not in my dorm room but my bedroom. During the early phases of the pandemic, it was The Daily that initially bound me to Stanford. It was island in a sea of Zoom rooms and Canvas posts. At that time, I understood The Daily to be simply a club. It was a place to make friends and do so while reporting the news. But I quickly learned that The Daily is so much more than just a student organization.
