Please allow me to introduce myself

This is my second semester on the Talon Marks and I am taking over the role of editor-in chief.
Last semester I was the sports editor, I really enjoyed what I was to do in that capacity, and I am ready for the new challenge of being the chief.
In this blog, I just want to explain some of the decisions that were made for the print edition of the paper.
I want to show the readers the thought process behind the paper.
I already started some of the design changes that I will make such as putting the teaser at the bottom of the first page and adding an index to the front page.
I am also adding a box on the opinion page for the stat of the week.
I want to put different stats such as crime and transfer rates from Cerritos College.
In addition, this semester we will update our web site, www.talonmarks.com twice a week instead of once a week, which was done in pervious semesters.
This will take more time and effort on the part of the entire staff but I believe this is an important change and it will help us move into thinking about the web site more than just the print edition.
The paper will also feature a section that shows what crimes happened on campus that week.
