Mission Statement

The goals of The Mirror, as De Smet Jesuit’s official student newspaper, are to provide accurate information in the spirit of responsible journalism, to entertain, and to offer a forum for the ideas of students, parents, graduates, faculty, and administrators.

By-lined commentaries represent the opinions of their writers; they do not necessarily express the views of the administration, faculty, student body, or The Mirror staff and its adviser.

Editorials without bylines represent the opinions of the editors and the staff. At least a three-fourths majority of the staff is needed for an article to be considered an opinion of the paper.

The Mirror welcomes letters to the editor. Letters should be limited to 500 words and should be submitted to [email protected]. All letters must be signed, but names will be withheld upon request.
