Stop the presses!
As of Feb. 2, The Image is now online at www.lhsimage.com.
The website does not replace the print edition, but allows for more immediate and frequently updated coverage of Lafayette and topics of interest to students.
Online Managing Editor senior Mina Yu said, “The purpose of our website is to inform students about school news in a convenient way.”
The website contains news, features, opinions and entertainment sections like the print newspaper.
However, the website also contains additional coverage options like interactive reader polls, breaking news coverage, updated sports scores and coverage, picture slideshows, world news updates and an events calendar.
The multimedia section also contains videos provided by the Yearbook DVD staff.
Yu said, “We will post other stories [than those in the newspaper] that are of interest to the students and will be able to report news instantly.”
Also included on the website is a new Focus section.
“It will be a more in-depth story but with more types of media on it like pictures and video. It will be focused on societal issues rather than local issues, but we are hoping to catch some students at Lafayette to incorporate personal narratives through video footage,” Yu said.
Through this video footage, The Image staff will be able to bring the visual coverage of events to you.
The Image would like to stress how important the readers are to the website and its success.
While the website is young, we ask for your cooperation and patience as we begin this new approach in journalism.
Though there may be glitches at first, we will do our best to bring the news to the student body as best we can and will improve as quickly as possible.
