The joy of seeing great new writers

     

Garth McLennan
Editor in Chief

ince taking over the management

of this paper, it’s been a bit of

a whirlwind to get everything
in order for the beginning of the new
semester. From drumming up advertising
to dealing with budgetary and distribution
issues to just getting used to the standard,
nuts-and-bolts editing portion of the job,
I’ve had to jump into a new atmosphere
here with both feet running, so to speak.

So I think that because of that, it’s
been hard for me to really appreciate
some of the great articles we’ve been
having here at The Other Press to kick
of the new school year. Take the current
issue that you’re holding in your hands
right now.

The story that made the cover this
week, “Culture Cuts” by our esteemed
arts editor Cody Klyne, is a fascinating
piece that wasn’t only easy to edit,
but really intriguing and interesting
to read. Regardless of which way you
lean on the topic of arts funding in this
province, there’s no question that the
article itself was, in a nutshell, exactly
what you would hope to see from student
journalism. It was a well researched,
detailed expose of sorts, and I can’t think
of a better article to lead the way this

week for you, the reader, to flip to right
off the bat when you see the new issue on
the stands.

But Cody certainly isn’t the only
who hit a proverbial home run this issue.
Stephanie Trembath, who can usually
be found within the pages of the Life
& Style section, provided an excellent
feature on the student survival guide to
Las Vegas. It was almost 1400 words
of pure entertainment, and by the end
of it, I found myself wishing there was
another 1400 words to read. That article
is a perfect showcase as to what a terrific
writer Stephanie is.

To me, not only as the editor-in-chief
of this fine publication but as a Douglas
College student and as a writer who has
been involved with this wonderful paper
in various capacities for a few years now,
seeing writers like Cody and Stephanie
flourish and produce such outstanding
journalism is the most rewarding part of
this job.

The beginning of a new semester and
school year is the beginning of a lot of
things, including a new era of sorts here
at The Other Press. This is, as a student
of Douglas, you’re paper, and with such
a strong cast of writers and editors here
right now, there has never been a better
time to either get involved with the paper
or to just read it cover-to-cover every

week.
