About Us

What we do

The Preface is IU South Bend’s official student newspaper. It is written, photographed, designed, edited and staffed entirely by students of IU South Bend.

We are governed by the journalistic principles of truth, integrity, impartiality, humanity and accountability. Through our work, we seek to inform and enrich the IU South Bend community and advocate for IU South Bend students.
