Cabrini University was founded in 1957 by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (MSC). A couple years later The Loquitur, Cabrini University’s student-run newspaper, was founded. The Loquitur has been informing students, staff, faculty and those in the surrounding area for 60 years.

Over the past 60 years, the way people consume media has changed immensely. The Loquitur has advanced so much from laying out newspapers with no computers to getting articles published online in hours for a timely piece.

When the internet started to become a major place for people to get their media The Loquitur did not only produce a print issue but they started to upload the media on The Loquitur website. Loquitur Media is evolving into a multimedia news source.

We are not only writing news stories, but we are publishing videos and podcasts to release more information out to the public by using different media platforms. There are so many different ways to consume news anymore. Today people might not be able to pick up a paper and read it before they leave for work like they used to. Some listen to podcasts on their way to work and that is how they consume their news.

News has evolved and there are a plethora of stories from light-hearted to heavy-hitting ones that are told every day. Journalists are here to inform the public on what is happening in the world. Journalism is extremely important now more than ever, as it is an institution that keeps not only those in power in check, but allows all citizens to be informed and keep a united front as a nation and as part of the global community.

Throughout the last 60 years, The Loquitur has been here to produce honest and unbiased content. Since the 2016 election, there has been an attack on journalists and how credible they are.

“You speak, we listen” has become a motto to live by when editors are writing and interviewing students on campus.  It is important to include all voices to present all opinions and sides.

Journalism allows us to get deeper into the topics that most people just brush over. It gives us a platform to help voice those who cannot be heard clearly.

For the past 60 years, The Loquitur has been proud to be your source of news on campus. Throughout the upcoming year, we will be celebrating 60 years of The Loquitur and how journalism has changed throughout these years.
