Professional Advisory Board Mission Statement
The Johns Hopkins University does not have a formal journalism program or trade school, and The News-Letter is where many students interested in journalism get their start. We believe that a Professional Advisory Board is the best way to receive experienced guidance while maintaining our financial and editorial independence from the University.
The Board is composed of experienced editors and writers, from various local and national publications, who cover a wide range of subjects. The Board provides The News-Letter’s editorial staff with advice and feedback on a range of issues, from journalistic ethics to editorial practices.
Ultimately, all decisions rest with the Editors-in-Chief of The News-Letter and no member of the Board can be held liable for decisions made by the paper.
