The ongoing and rapid evolution of newspapers necessarily involves a move to internet co-publication. This move to Internet journalism has allowed news organizations (The Sun included) to receive reader feedback on individual articles and op-eds through the comments section immediately following the articles.

Overall, The Sun has had a good semester. The paper continues to strengthen its  multimedia presence. The paper’s news coverage is extensive and their opinion section frequently provokes discussion and debate (a positive thing). The editors are responsive to reader concerns, receptive to outside input and transparent about the steps they are taking to continually improve the quality of their journalism. I hope they build on this progress with a stronger focus on investigative journalism.

While The Sun is right to instate a policy prohibiting the use of the term "illegal immigrant," it should also be careful to keep political opinions and news stories separate.
