The Lancer Link editorial board is comprised of the online paper's serving editors who rely on research, discussion, introspection, and analysis to reach a view that addresses sensible topics. The board's decisions represent the Lancer Link and aim to illustrate the school and community's best, as well as advocate for civil, empathetic, and authentic discussion. The board aims to argue for a Carlsbad High School and Carlsbad community that is empathetic and civil by nature, as well as forward-looking and fair by aspiration. Like other journalists and organizations, our board thus aims to capture what journalist and former owner of The New York Times, Adolph Ochs, described as “the free exercise of a sound conscience,” with its every editorial publication.
