With the Viking Vibe facing such a large shift, we have a golden opportunity to inform people from all walks of life about all sorts of topics. It doesn’t matter what topics you like reading about, we have something for virtually everyone.

The Vibe has, suffice to say, not been the most active in the past few years. We published articles only semi-regularly on our website and hardly had print editions. The opportunity to essentially have a Viking Vibe Renaissance was one the editorial board simply couldn’t wait for.

I’d like to thank not just Mr. Honig for his ambitions for the vibe, but Mr. Loh for teaching me the fundamentals of journalism, and the editors that came before me for their diligence and passion for writing.

I personally hope that with this revival, the Vibe will be able to get more information out to more people in a timely fashion. The entire budget crisis we’ve been facing hasn’t gotten much written attention, and it should be our responsibility to tell people about it so the many instances of confusion and surprise that happened in the past don’t happen again.

The Vibe’s ability to give students like myself the chance to speak their minds about specific topics is also great. I’d describe myself as having an interest in politics, history, and culture, and the Vibe provides an outlet for us to talk about issues, no matter how significant.

The future is bright for the Viking Vibe, and I’m confident it will become a beacon of information sharing for decades to come in the school.
