InterviewAs a news editor for the MacEwan student newspaper, The Intercamp, you must have to do a lot of interviews, so if you were me, what question would you ask first?I guess I’d ask: “why are you the news editor?” Okay. Why are you the news editor?Great question! Well, I have a passion for music and the arts, but I chose news because I think I will learn a lot more this way. I might have a story about the science labs one day, and then an article on the U-Pass the next. It’s a lot more diverse than just pointing out the newest band and their latest LP. What is the craziest and most insane news story you’ve written? Have you had anything really interesting?Umm… No. Honestly, nothing that interesting ever happens around here. Well, there was the story about MacEwan being examined by the auditor general that highlighted some financial and reporting errors. The higher ups didn’t really appreciate that story, but hey, it’s news and it’s important for students to know. Did they get mad at you for writing that story?No, not mad at us. They just didn’t like that it was on the front page. They would have rather had us bury it in the back somewhere, but it was our headline. If one news story could break at MacEwan what would you want it to be?A scandal! Scandals always make for great news stories. I mean, look at Watergate! People are still talking about that! So, you want a MacEwan Watergate?I don’t want a MacEwan Watergate, but, if one happened, I would report on it and it would be awesome. |
