The Waltonian Mission Statement

The Waltonian is a student-run newspaper that is produced by the students of Eastern University in print and online. Our publication serves as an outlet for students to reach the broader Eastern community and as a window for outside readers to see into Eastern’s values and work. We recognize that we have the responsibility as journalists to hold power accountable, including our own.

We seek to encourage and enhance the community of Eastern students, alumni, faculty, staff and organizations through our work.

We commit ourselves to the exploration and embodiment of Eastern’s Faith, Reason, Justice motto, asking hard questions and speaking difficult truths.

We aspire to produce work that fosters reflection and conversation, and we value quality in everything that we produce.

We accept the responsibility of the power given to us by our community, and we endeavor to use our position for the good of our whole community.
