Editors of The Daily Aztec share their plans and aspirations for the new year By Gabriel Schneider and Xiomara Villarreal-Gerardo Hello, Aztecs! As the 2022-2023 academic school year starts we want to thank you all for your continuous support. Firstly, we offer a warm welcome to all freshmen and transfer students to San Diego State University. And to those returning Aztecs: welcome back! We are beyond excited to share with you our incoming plans as leaders of The Daily Aztec this year. Change is coming. Our goal is to be the eyes, ears and voice of the community - and to bring in a few new audience members along the way. Each issue we will work to enhance our reliability and inclusivity while keeping content fresh and accessible for all. We hope you will help us by speaking out on issues that impact you, and also trusting us to tell your story with professionalism and care. We believe that The Daily Aztec is more than just a piece of paper, we see The DA as an organization that can be an outlet within arm’s reach of our community. Times are changing and so are we. In this age of media, we digest information on a variety of different platforms and our aspiration is to meet you on each one of those. The Daily Aztec’s aim is to bring quality over quantity. This means we will transition to a new monthly print model in lieu of our previous weekly issues. Production changes will bring more in-depth coverage to the issues
(cont.) impacting the community and allow us to engage with folks like you across our various platforms. Multimedia is one of our main hubs for this year. You will find consistent content posted on our website and our social media platforms. Alongside our monthly newspaper issues, this year we will publish two magazines: one at the end of each semester.

Our plans call for more engagement from our own journalism community as well as other groups. We encourage designers, photographers, illustrators, creative writers, poets, artists, musicians and all other creatives to share their voice or art at The DA. We are here for you as we hope to diversify our types of content and amplify your voices. This year, we encourage you to stay posted with The DA as we will be a space where you can come for news, entertainment, motivation, resources, and more. Finalmente, para nuestra comunidad latinx, queremos invitarles a que estén al tanto de nuestro noticiero. Viviendo en una ciudad como San Diego que está llena de gente latinx, el Daily Aztec también ofrece contenido en español. Nuestra sección llamada Mundo Azteca, está dedicada a producir artículos y videos para la comunidad. Al igual que están bienvenides a ser parte de esta sección y compartir su arte, escritura y talento. Siganos en redes sociales y no olviden agarrar su periodico fisicamente cada mes en campus.
