We believe it is our responsibility as student journalists to investigate, report on, and bring light to critical issues affecting our community. The Wire is committed to reporting on these topics accurately, respectfully, and with a focus on the lived experience of those who have shared their stories. In creating this special issue, extra care was taken to ensure that our coverage aligns with The Wire’s ethics guidelines.
