Introducing DI blog

Greetings, and welcome to DI blog, the online voice of The Daily Iowan's Opinions staff.

The Internet, as you may have noticed, has no shortage of weblogs, but when you narrow the field to those targeted at Iowa City and the UI community, you won't find as many. Our writers are your classmates, or your students, or your neighbors, who are paid to know what is happening in our community. Here you can read what they're thinking about the critical, or at least interesting, issues that affect your lives as students and as citizens. Feel free to add your thoughts as well - so long as you're mindful of the rules.

- DI Opinions staff
