Here’s a note from Susannah about her campaign and editorial experience:
As many of you know, I am an LAH junior and history major. At UT, I have worked at The Texan for six semesters under three editors as an associate editor reporter and columnist. I have also completed internships at The Texas Tribune and Vanity Fair and have written for The New York Times.
Nearly as old as the university, The Texan has shaped UT’s history most positively when the paper’s content has the respect of the UT students. To continue that proud tradition, The Texan needs to remain both familiar and trusted and, at the same time, appropriately skeptical. Student groups and organizations should believe The Texan’s editorial staff listens attentively. The Editor of The Texan should be a respected and active participant on campus.
At the conclusion of my tenure, I would hope students both recognized and cherished their rightful ownership in The Texan. For further elaboration, here is a link to my most recent column in The Texan: http://www.dailytexanonline.com/opinion/2012/02/16/and-students
