She wraps a t-shirt around her eyes and the budding moon wanes to a yawning black— a personal eclipse of sorts. To her, even the smallest sliver of light is too tempting. The mere prospect of day will excite her to life before she has a moment to rest. The murmur of starlight and the cluck of the sun make her so hungry to change the world, she can’t bear to lie still.
Will you support independent award-winning student journalism?
Despite crackdowns on press freedom to the AI revolution sweeping newsrooms, The New Journal remains committed to producing hard-hitting, long-form investigative reporting. This past year, we have already published stories about wrongful convictions, Yale’s attempted settlement with the Trump administration, and food-insecure students at the David Geffen School of Drama. We are consistently the Best Student Magazine in the Northeast, awarded by the Society of Professional Journalists, for a reason. We have the largest print distribution of any campus publication since we believe that public interest journalism should be read by as many people as possible.
Thank you.
