The Muse staff edits the proofing pages together, having each page cycle through several sets of eyes. The copy section plays a huge role in this process because oftentimes, staffers ask us questions about their edits. It's a learning and bonding experience because we get to communicate with people whom we might not talk to otherwise, and staffers get to practice editing skills and learn from us. While proofing, we focus on grammar, style, fact-checking, and name-checking. Proofing helps produce a magazine of the highest quality possible for the student body, ensuring the news that they are consuming is accurate.
It is so important to maintain a credible reputation and allow every student to be correctly represented by our publication. Errors occur, but they should be minimal and fixed as soon as possible.
Every staffer cannot always add another coverage project to their workload, but there is a plethora of possible story ideas that are sometimes passed over because the person who heard about the topic cannot write it.
To contradict the spread of misinformation, making our publication a news source that spreads accurate and important information is important to me.
Writing briefs allows the student body to be informed with fresh, quick information.
