New faces and times at the OP

      

Garth McLennan

Editor in Chief

hen I was set to sit down and
write this article, my first

ever “Lettitor” as the new
editor-in-chief of The Other Press, I went
to write my name at the top like I have for
every article I’ve written for this paper.

However, right off the bat, I messed
up. Instead of ‘editor’ beside my name
as I was supposed to write, I instead put
the much more familiar ‘sports editor’.
That should say enough right there that
while I’m very excited to be taking the
reigns of a paper that I’ve cared deeply
about for almost three years now, I’m still
a little nervous to be taking the big job
(understandably, I hope).

After all, I’m replacing the esteemed
Liam Britton, someone I’ve considered
a close friend for years now. Liam and I
started at the OP right around the same
time, and less than one week into my
tenure as editor-in-chief; it’s already very
strange not having him around. He leaves
behind a pair of very big shoes to fill, and
by the time I leave this place for good
I know that I'll be lucky to be half the
editor he was.

To put it simply, Liam was an
excellent editor whose end goal was
making the paper you’re holding in your
hands better for you, the reader and the
student of Douglas College. He was a
good friend and you couldn’t ask for a
better boss. I can assure you that I’Il do

my very best to uphold and continue the
high standards he set.

This is a time of big change for
your friendly neighbourhood student
newspaper. Josh Martin, a great kid fresh
out of NWSS high school, is taking
over for me in sports, and I have full
confidence that he’ll blow me out of
the water. Angela Espinoza, a long time
contributor who makes our paper better
every issue, is our first ever arts reporter
while Cody Klyne is replacing long time
editor Jay Schreiber as the head of the
arts section. With Cody and Angela, you
couldn’t ask for two better writers to take
care of arts and entertainment.

We also have Maria Asselin-Roy
assuming the duties of staff reporter in the
news section with the departure of Tanya
Colledge. She’s another bright young
writer that should do great things here.

There are still some familiar faces
sticking around for the upcoming
semester, not the least of which is my
current assistant editor Chloe Bach, who
I already know will save my bacon more
than once while I’m doing this job.

With the start of a new year at
Douglas, this couldn’t be a better time
for you to pick up and get involved in
our newspaper. We welcome anyone who
wants to be a part of The Other Press, and
if you getting involved isn’t something
you can do right now, please continue to
pick up the paper, we’re always there.
