New Cursor editorial statute provides firmer foundation for independence

September 23, 2024

The Executive Board considers Cursor's function as a university news medium very important and strongly values its journalistic independence.

The journalistic independent TU/e news medium Cursor has a new editorial statute. It was approved today by the university council of the TU/e. The main change is that journalistic independence is more firmly established in the new statute. It is one of the final pieces of the realization of the recommendations made by the independent irregularities committee earlier this year.

Last May, the TU/e published the report of the independent irregularities committee that investigated a report last year of alleged censorship at Cursor. The committee concluded that there was no structural censorship, but also noted that a sum of developments made them feel they could no longer carry out their work in independence and that this had not been addressed in a timely manner. One of the committee's core recommendations was therefore to set up a revised editorial statute and better safeguards for journalistic independence.

The Executive Board considers Cursor's function as a university news medium very important and strongly values its journalistic independence. It has therefore taken the necessary steps towards the future of Cursor together with the editorial team since the end of last year, including the appointment of an interim editor-in-chief, in November last year. His tasks included restoring calm and mutual trust and arriving at a new editorial statute. That new statute has now been officially approved and is supported by all parties.

The Executive Board assumes that with all the improvements, the preconditions have been created for a future-proof Cursor, and will continue to ensure that the recommendations of the committee are observed.
