The continued support of the paper is essential to providing the campus with an unfiltered look at the issues affecting it and the surrounding area.
The Crow’s Nest is committed to providing its readers with news relevant to the University of South Florida St. Petersburg, abiding by the highest ethical standards in the process.
In the process, we strive to reflect a diverse range of student interests, including topics about which there may be dissent or controversy. Our goal is to present the facts in an unbiased fashion in each of our news stories, so that readers may rely on our independence as a news source and make informed decisions on current issues.
Although The Crow’s Nest is a university-sponsored newspaper of the University of South Florida St. Petersburg, we maintain editorial independence. We take seriously the public’s trust in our news reporting and pledge ourselves to independence in the service of this responsibility.
