If you wake up each morning to the smell of freshly-brewed coffee and peruse a crinkled newspaper, congratulations: you’re both in the minority of our generation and over forty years old. The way we produce and receive news is changing. You can clutch that newspaper in your hands all you want, but the reality is that print media is becoming obsolete.

That’s why at the Scope, we’re changing how we give Langley the news. Our website publishes the most current Langley happenings in real time, and as any student can tell you, being up-to-date is crucial for being involved at our school.

Don’t know the score of Friday’s basketball game? Consider yourself ostracized from your lunch table on Monday. Perhaps that’s an exaggeration: you won’t be ostracized but just completely disregarded. That’s where the Scope comes in. We’re here to keep you “in the know” with everything that happens at Langley so that you won’t be that kid at lunch.

If the thought of reading any sort of article, be it in print or online, triggers your gag reflex, our site also features new multimedia like videos, photo slideshows, and interactive stories that are heavy on the graphics and light on the text. If that isn’t enough, the Scope has invaded social media like Facebook and Twitter (you can’t escape us).

We’ve taken the difficulty of typing out our website: all you have to do now is click on the link embedded into Facebook or Twitter, where you’re probably already scrolling through procrastinating.

Essentially, the Scope has taken out all of the difficulty in keeping up with Langley news. You’re welcome.
