We are Miranda Muir and Layla Freiberg, your Hawkview co-editors-in-chief for the 2021-2022 school year. The Hawkview is La Quinta High’s student-run newspaper dedicated to amplifying local voices and stories.

Our goal this year and moving forward is to diversify our newsroom and coverage of events, without shying away from difficult topics on the national or local level. The world is diverse, unique, and full of nuance and we want our publication to reflect that. We believe there is no better way to do this than tackling it head-on with transparency and authenticity to you, our readers. 

Many agree there is no one way to create or consume media, and as students who feel the same, we plan on expanding the way we cover stories. Whether it be column-style writing, photos, videos, or even vinyl banners like our ongoing Humans of LQHS project, we want to make it happen–all to increase our presence in the things happening around you! 

You are the center of what we do. Your involvement as a guest writer, being interviewed for stories, or inviting us to events is always welcomed and encouraged.

Contact us here, or you can email us at [email protected] 

That’s all for now, we’ll be seeing you all very soon, and we can’t wait for the amazing things to come.
