Here's How The #1 College Newspaper In The Country Puts Out An Issue 5 Days A Week

The process behind how the number one college newspaper in America — The Cornell Daily Sun — puts out an issue every day.

A fairly inspiring article when it comes to student-run media and content creation organizations. I hope that one day to come back to my university and find that the club that I led for just a little while prospered into something close to a production company.

Agree or disagree

to the following statements:

I am open to receiving feedback.

I have taken the feedback of others into serious consideration (regardless of my perception of their maturity level).

I regularly make an effort to give direct and honest feedback (rather than keep it to myself and people like-minded to myself).

I have attempted, and still attempt to, communicate across conflicting viewpoints.

I seriously value (or at least seriously acknowledge) that there is value in the knowledge, opinion, and perspectives of others.

I am conscious of the power and influence I exert on (collective) decision-making processes.

I take responsibility for the mistakes I make, especially when I expect the peers whom I supervise to do the same.

When expecting others to take responsibility for the energy they bring into a shared space, I also take responsibility for the energy I bring into a shared space.

I am careful to check when my sense of purpose becomes a sense of self-righteousness.

I actively make myself open to dialogue, such that people with conflicting viewpoints feel comfortable approaching me.

I am willing to disagree, with my coworkers, with my peers, with my supervisors.

I use professionalism as a tool to facilitate (rather than inhibit, silence, distance, or block) communication.

Perhaps this is a growing list.

But speaking for myself, I would like to agree to all of these statements, but I know that I truthfully cannot.

How about you?

#trying to say what I can, before I completely silence myself / before I am completely silenced.

#I care as much as you.

#By all means, feel free to add to this list, or make your own.

Check out this cypher music video from the run-up last year's mixtape "Elevated Tracks". All four artists will be featured on this year's mixtape, and are some of the best up-and-coming talent Chicago has to offer. Also note me and Daniel in the back trying to look cool like we don't care if we're there, but really just looking kinda crazy following four rappers around with speakers and an ipad. Good times, good times. 

Sincerely Yours,

Will Rise
