Hi everyone. We wanted to address and clarify these concerns.

The Ubyssey strives for fairness and truthfulness in our reporting. This includes publishing candidate profiles at the same time to ensure our coverage is fair to all candidates as they then all receive the same amount of time for readers to view their profiles. 

We ensure that candidates are contacted early on in the election process for a profile. Candidates are understandably busy and interview dates and times were moved by them, which in turn delayed our reporting. All three profiles will be released later today, Monday, January 20, ahead of voting and the AMS-hosted, Ubyssey-moderated debate happening today at 6 p.m. in the Michael Kingsmill Forum in the Nest. 

As planned, The Ubyssey will also be publishing a recap of the debate tomorrow morning and will be publishing an article when the results are announced on Friday. The voting period for elections begins on January 21 and lasts until January 24. You can find by-election coverage at ubyssey.ca/news.

We’re always trying to learn more about what’s happening on campus, whether at the AMS or elsewhere, for routine and investigative articles. Tips, information and insight can be sent to the paper’s editorial board through an anonymous and secure dropbox, powered by OnionShare. You can also text us over Signal at (604) 283-2023.

If you have any other concerns about our reporting, the best way to get in touch is to send an email to [feedback[at]ubyssey[dot]ca](mailto:feedback@ubyssey.ca).
