Ms Tay, 21, who is credited as one of the first students behind the Chronicle’s revival, sees “a lot of value” in exploring issues of interest specifically for NTU students that may not be “big enough” for local news outlets to pick up.<\/p>\n
Her supervisor Mr He agreed, referencing how some town councils in Singapore have newsletters to update residents specifically on community happenings, and so too for religious institutions.<\/p>\n
“This community of (around) 30,000 people is big enough for three MRT stations to be built to serve them,” he said, referring to parts of the Jurong Region Line<\/a> that will run through NTU, slated for opening in 2029.<\/p>\n “They should also have a newspaper to serve them.”<\/p>\n Ms Tay and her peers also believe that student reporters can serve as a bridge between the school and the student body, providing perspectives that are “neutral and nuanced” to create productive discussions between both groups.<\/p>\n “Often, in institutions like universities, there’s a gap between what the schools think they’re doing compared to what’s actually happening,” said Ms Tay.<\/p>\n “I hope the Chronicle can be a place to ask more difficult questions on both sides \u2013 the school and the students \u2013 and to have an avenue for the truth.”<\/p>\n There is also the argument that not all student publications need to be about serious news or should exist solely to serve the community.<\/p>\n At its core, a student paper or magazine can also be an avenue for reflection and individual expression, said Mr Zander Koh, a third-year student at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and editor-in-chief at The Ridge, the largest student-run magazine there.<\/p>\n The Ridge prints around 150 physical copies of its magazine for distribution around campus each semester and recruits about 50 student contributors every academic year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ms Tay, 21, who is credited as one of the first students behind the Chronicle’s revival, sees “a lot of value” in exploring issues of…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":58477,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=58476"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58476\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/58477"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=58476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=58476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=58476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SPECIAL INTEREST<\/h2>\n
