Order is restored. 

As Grounds roars back to life for the start of the Fall semester, the staff at The Jefferson Independent would like to wish everyone a wonderful start to the year. We would also like to thank the students, alumni, and others who make up our readership; your support and attention drive us to set the precedent in principled and reasoned journalism. 

Since our founding on April 13th, 2021, Thomas Jefferson’s birthday, we have been committed to upholding accountability, integrity, and viewpoint diversity on Grounds. In an age where political polarization and cancel culture pervade our institutions, The Jefferson Independent serves as a beacon of hope, embodying Mr. Jefferson’s belief that, “where the press is free, all is safe.”

Thanks to the amazing work of our staff, The Jefferson Independent has grown exponentially since its inception. We are incredibly excited to continue upholding free-speech journalism and civil discourse on Grounds this year. If you are a student who is passionate about our mission or interested in writing, we would love to get in contact with you. We encourage everyone to subscribe to our newsletter and continue supporting our team. 

“Truth can stand by itself.”

Best,
Landon Epperson

Editor-in-Chief
