In the article, Supplying students subscriptions to New York Times published on March 18, an editorial column by Bret Stephens was instead referred to as an article. The difference between an editorial column and what most people think of when they read the word “article” is that an editorial column is not a news piece. It is instead an opinion piece written by one person and does not reflect the views of an entire publication, unless specified otherwise. Frequent readers of New York Times (NYT) also recognize that Bret Stephens frequently publishes columns of a similar nature and that other authors of NYT frequently publish their own editorial columns that oppose the views of Bret Stephens. In print versions of NYT, these opposing columns are typically run alongside each other.
Additionally, the subscription isn’t active yet. As of this issue, The Lumberjack is waiting to hear back from the university or Associated Students about when it will be available.
