Executive News Editor

May 2018 - Dec 2018
I oversaw the news section's day-to-day operations: editing, staffing, training, communications and pitch assignments. My responsibilities culminated each weeknight with fact-checking and editing three news stories by the paper's 1am deadline. I also increased the paper's political reporting. News staffers were on the scene for Ayanna Pressley's primary election upset over Rep. Mike Capuano; this breaking news coverage, and our 2018 Midterm coverage as a whole was recognized with the Daily's "Collaboration of the Semester" award. Show less
