Meet the people behind
The QAD Times.
Student voices, thoughtful reporting and creative storytelling — brought together by a newsroom that writes, interviews, photographs, films, edits and publishes for a real audience.
From the Editor-in-Chief
A message from the newsroom
The QAD Times began with a simple idea: to give students a genuine platform for their voices, creativity and perspectives.
Journalism is about much more than reporting what happens. It is about asking thoughtful questions, listening carefully, thinking critically and communicating responsibly. Through writing, photography, interviews, video and creative storytelling, our students learn how to turn ideas and moments into work worth sharing.
The QAD Times is a space for students to experiment, collaborate, improve their craft and publish for a real audience. Above all, we want our journalists to remain curious, accurate, respectful and unafraid to tell meaningful stories.
