To our members and valued readers,
Arthur Newspaper’s Board of Directors and Volume 54 Co-Editors would like to offer the following updates regarding operations and procedures regarding COVID-19:
Printing and Office Closure
We have made the difficult but most community-minded decision to suspend printing of Arthur Newspaper effective immediately through to the end of the 2019-2020 printing schedule as indicated on TrentArthur.ca. As the Sadleir House facility has also closed to the public, in-person office hours are also suspended for the rest of the academic year. We value the safety of our staff, volunteers, and readers above all else. We encourage you to practice social distancing techniques and strong personal hygiene, and to self-isolate as much as possible. We commend Trent University for its efforts to “flatten the curve” by temporarily closing its buildings while also being mindful of the student population that is unable to return home at this time.
Just because the newspaper stops printing does not mean that news stops happening. Indeed, we can see that the news needs to move as quickly and as accurately as possible to ensure that the public can make informed decisions. That is why the Co-Editors will continue to oversee publication on TrentArthur.ca, and will continue to share up-to-date information on our social media channels. Please like and follow Facebook.com/ArthurNews, Instagram.com/TrentArthurNews, and Twitter.com/TrentArthur.
Emails to editors@trentarthur.ca will be monitored from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern standard time on weekdays, and by chance on weekends. We have been facing issues with the office phone, and are still in the process of resolving the issue. For the time being all inquiries will be addressed via email.
Advertising
If you purchased advertising space for Issues 21, 22, 23, or 24 of Volume 54, please contact advertising@trentarthur.ca so that your invoice can be recalled, or that your request can be adapted to be placed on TrentArthur.ca for a period of time.
Spring Elections
The Spring Elections for the Volume 55 Editorship and the Staff Collective Members of the Board of Directors were scheduled to be on Sunday March 29, 2020 at Sadleir House in the Lecture Hall from 12 to 2 p.m. In light of the current situation, we will be introducing the following procedures:
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
"Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system."
