After a year-and-a-half hiatus, The Reporter has once again opened its cyberdoors for business. We encourage you to step right in and have a seat – we would like to welcome you to The Virtual Reporter. Our address is www.virtualreporter.org.
Ever since its founding in 1967, The Reporter has offered its pages to the GSB community. To some, it is a scrapbook, a diary, a record of the school’s history. To others, it is a forum for discussion and debate. But most of all, it has sought to open up lines of communication within the GSB community. Over the past few months, the staff at The Reporter has been working hard to expand upon this point, encouraging conversation between students, faculty, and the administration. Today we step up our efforts with the introduction of our online forum, The Virtual Reporter.
As you peruse this site, you will no doubt find that many of the listed stories and articles come directly from the print edition. At first, the majority of our content will be shared between the two media, but over the next few months we will continue to grow the capabilities of the site to truly take advantage of the interactive nature of the web.
You will notice on your left a link called “Letter to the Editor.” We encourage you to respond to the articles and commentaries in both our printed and virtual pages. Send your criticism, send your praise, get involved in the debate, whatever it might be. While we cannot promise to print everything we will receive, we can assure you that everything will be considered.
As the year progresses, look for an even more interactive Virtual Reporter. User polls and message boards will be integrated directly with our most provocative feature articles. We will try to use the site to reach out to all members of the GSB community, including Sloans and alumni, to provide information on upcoming GSB and local events, and to give all newcomers to the GSB and the Bay Area some insight as to exactly what goes on in this crazy place.
So with that introduction, we at The Virtual Reporter would like to welcome you to surf our site, get involved, and take part in the GSB community.
And as you do, please join us in thanking the folks who – in one way or another – are responsible for making all of this possible. They are Brian Gladstein, MBA2, Tayo Akins, MBA2, Jerry Huang, MBA2, Lorinda Niemeyer, MBA2, Jake Moskowitz, MBA2, Shawn Carolan, MBA2, and Juan Posada, MBA2.
