new year, new look
The changes at the Hawkeye this year
are dramatic. The Hawkeye no longer
looks nor operates like it did just a few
months ago.
All of this
change began in
a revolutionary
meeting late last
June.
In that meeting,
we posed a fun-
damental question
to ourselves: “How
can we best serve
our audience?”
Hearing that we were ready to impose
monumental change onto the organiza-
tion, our adviser, Vince DeMiero, asked us
what we would do if we were the student
news source at a brand new high school and
were starting from scratch. In 2013, would
we start by creating a tabloid newspaper?
Would this be the best way to serve our
audience and fulfill our mission?
We realized we were, essentially, starting
from scratch.
So, it was out with the old newspaper and
in with something completely different.
What we came up with was this: We would
create a feature-based newsmagazine that
would come out less frequently, but would
be longer, more in-depth and more durable.
One of the problems with the newspaper
model was that we realized we were try-
ing to break news on a monthly basis. But
in this new age of journalism, one that is
fast paced and requires breaking news at a
moment’s notice, a monthly newspaper just
does not work.
It’s a problem that every single media out-
let in the world is working to solve. From
the leadership staff at the Hawkeye to the
biggest names in the business, news orga-
nizations are trying to find the best way to
provide constant information to readers,
while still making enough revenue to sup-
port themselves.
What we realized at the Hawkeye was
that after the paper had been out for a few
days, the news was old and quickly became
irrelevant. For the newspaper to work, all
of its content had to be relevant every single
day that it sat in the bins. News flash: It
wasn’t.
However, this is where the magazine
comes in. In the magazine, stories are not
so timely. They don’t necessarily make ref-
erence to a specific event that will pass by
and be forgotten.
So what are we going to fill this new
magazine with (other than mystique)? The
answer: Content that is meaningful and
will stay relevant throughout the entire
time the issue is out – maybe even beyond.
These kinds of stories include profiles
about important people, events or topics.
They include discussions about important
issues relevant to our readers and our com-
munity.
In the Op/Ed section, you can expect
the tradition of a strong editorial voice
to continue. We will discuss important
issues. They will be written by Hawkeye
staff, school leaders and, of course, you our
readers. We strongly encourage you to let
your opinion be heard. Write a letter to the
editor about how you feel about an issue or
something you’ve read in the Hawkeye.
Do you have a photo, a poem, a painting
or a short story that you want shown in the
Hawkeye? We want to display all forms of
student expression. Submit your work via
email or in person. Coming soon, we will
have an easy way to submit user-generated
content via our revamped website.
In the new magazine we will also have
main feature stories. Expect an in-depth
cover story and other features. These sto-
ries may come from any number of areas of
our coverage. These features are meant to
shed light on to important topics, people or
issues.
In this issue, for example, we have just
one main feature – the cover story about
how you can be best prepared for this
school year.
Also premiering next issue is our Lifestyle
section. This section is meant to be inter-
active and discuss student lifestyle topics.
This includes arts, entertainment, health,
trends, community beat and other aspects
of the life of Terrace students and our
other audience members.
In the Sports section, we will focus on the
individuals who make the magic of sports
happen for the Hawks. For this first issue,
we are featuring senior Devante Downs,
one of the most heavily recruited Terrace
athletes ever. We sit down with Downs and
talk about his past and his future.
If you know of an incredible athlete
deserving recognition, tell us. Send an
email to the Sports Co-Editors, Austin
McDermott and Anthony Markert at
sports@thehawkeye.org and they’ll look
into it.
At the same time all of this is happen-
ing on the magazine, our website – www.
thehawkeye.org – is undergoing dramatic
changes as well. Yes, it looks different,
but what you can expect from it has also
changed. See page 4 for an explanation of
our exciting new online presence by our
Online Manager
Erick Yanzon.
Needless to say,
we’re very excited
about building
on the recent suc-
cesses of the web-
site and we need
to hear from you
about how we can
continue to serve
you via this impor-
tant technology.
Most of our
readers are not sitting down in the morning
with a cup of Joe and reading a daily news-
paper for an hour. Many of our readers are
online. They’re on Twitter and Facebook
and websites that engage them.
We have been working hard to make our
online presence available and accessible for
our readers. The new website will provide
you with timely, engaging news. Always
expect something new on thehawkeye.org.
This new way of doing business is as new
to us as it is to you. This first issue is a
preview of what’s to come. In order to best
serve you, we need to know what you need.
Do you love the new Hawkeye? Hate it?
Think it should be banned in all 50 states
and Puerto Rico? Let us know.
Write a letter to the editor and email it
to editor@thehawkeye.org or bring it to
Room 130 after school. We’ll be here.
It’s been a very busy summer for us. We
have changed an incredible amount since
you last saw us in June.
Change is scary, exciting and it definitely
takes a lot of work. But change can bring us
some wonderful things. H

Mission
Mission Statement The Hawkeye’s mission is to provide the MTHS
community with quality, thought-provoking student produced
publications. In policy and in practice since 1960, the Hawkeye is a
designated open forum publication.
Policies
The Hawkeye has established several open public forums for the
exchange of information, opinions and artistic expression dedicated
to those in the MTHS community. Since 1960, we have faithfully
served our audience and community as an open, public forum where
student editors make all decisions.
Editorials The editorial section of the Hawkeye serves as a forum for
well-written, thoughtful, longer forms of expression. Signed editorials
represent the opinions of the author. Unsigned editorials represent
the opinion of the Hawkeye Editorial Board. Views printed herein
are meant to be opinionated and do not necessarily represent the
opinions of the Hawkeye staff, student body, faculty, administration
or school board. The Hawkeye will print submitted guest editorials as
space allows and requests that all contributors include their name,
signature and position relative to the editorial. The Hawkeye will edit
all submissions for accuracy, spelling and grammar. We reserve the
right to refuse to print any submission.
Letters to the Editor Readers are encouraged to voice their
opinions in the Opinion section, a public forum for the expression
of varying viewpoints on relevant topics. The Hawkeye will print
as many letters as space allows. Letters must include the author’s
name, signature and class or position relative to the letter. Typed or
legible, hand written letters are acceptable, but should not exceed
200 words. The Hawkeye will edit all letters for accuracy, spelling and
grammar. We reserve the right to refuse to print any letter.
Editorial Cartoons Submissions represent the view of the artist.
Editorial cartoons accompanying editorials and editorial columns
represent the view of the author. Cartoons are selected based on
appropriateness and clarity of message.
Advertising The Hawkeye will not accept any advertising that the
Editorial Board deems to be: factually inaccurate; designed to
mislead, deceive or defraud; containing malicious, vindictive or
unsubstantiated attacks; offering goods and/or services illegal for
teens to possess, buy or use; libelous; obscene; creating imminent
danger or disruption to school. The Hawkeye reserves the right to
refuse any advertising, solicited or unsolicited. Advertisements do
not necessarily reflect the views or endorsements of the Hawkeye
staff, student body, faculty, administration or school board.

4. 4 | September 2013 Hawkeye
Every year there’s a change, every year there’s something
new; and in every end, there’s a new beginning.
It’s the year 2013! We already survived the 2012 apoca-
lypse, so now there’s nothing really impossible.
Every year there’s going to be
people leaving and coming in.
Some follow the old path and tra-
dition; some are leaders who make
a change.
You’re probably still in shock
of the new size and layout of the
paper you’re reading right now.
This year we have 20 highly
dedicated students in leadership
positions, and each and every one
has found their own passion into something that contributes
to the whole organization.
Of course we would be nothing without the best adviser
ever, Vince DeMiero, who not just helps us troubleshoot
InDesign and WordPress problems, but teaches us about
real life skills.
And we’re not just a team, a club, or an organization – we’re
a family, which is what set us apart from other groups.
Last year, we earned our very first National Online
Pacemaker Award in San Francisco. And this year we are
gearing up to be even better.
This year, we have two new positions. Both new to
Hawkeye last year, sophomore Arsha Kiani and junior Jaira
Arcilla have found their place and became the Webmaster
and Multimedia Manager respectively. Add myself as a sec-
ond year Online Manager, and that makes our new team of
online media managers.
We all spent the last days of our summer in launching our
newly theme-updated website before school started, while
also working on the first issue of our revolutionary news-
magazine.
It has better-looking design that you’ve never seen before,
which fits and defines on what Hawkeye really is all about.
We will give you more reasons to go on thehawkeye.org. You
can easily navigate through each section, and it’s very cus-
tomizable which also makes it easier for us!
We are going to have a more systematic way of publishing
posts. Stories and coverage are now going to be posted daily
and we will give you the hottest and breaking news.
Plus, now you can read it straight from your smart phone
device.
Each section editor is going to have a lead story up every
week – at least. There are going to be more info-graphics,
interactive media and photo galleries. We will make sure
you’re constantly updated with school and community
events.
We also have a new YouTube channel that you can
subscribe to at MTHSHawkeyeTube for new videos and
updates. Don’t forget to share, leave comments and give us a
thumbs up.
Other social media outlets are also coming soon including
an Instagram account.
Working together with MLTNews.com and the Hawks
Broadcasting Network, we are still going to have our live
coverage of sports that feature Hawks games and other
Edmonds School District varsity sports, and this year it’s
called the Sound Live Sports Network or SLSN.
You can also follow live score updates via @MTHSports
and breaking news and information @MTHSHawkeye on
Twitter.
And of course there’s no us without YOU, our readers,
who make all of our hard work possible!
Thank you for all of your continued support.
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, you
can send us an email at web@thehawkeye.org, or you can
simply tweet us @MTHSHawkeye or message us on face-
