everything does
| ee had the chance to swap stories with two former
editors in chief of The Other Press. As could be expected,
the discussion eventually turned towards varying stories
of woe, success, and intrigue had while at the helm of this
paper over the years—and I couldn’t help but notice that
while the individuals on staff may change, certain things
about a college newspaper are inevitable. Put enough
young, artsy writers and editors in a room together, and
without doubt, people will fight, people will fall in (and out
of) love with each other, and people will create some truly
remarkable pieces of journalism.
As we come to the 35th year of publication of The Other
Press, | have to wonder how different things are under my
leadership today from when our first editor in chief was
in charge in 1978. Sure, we write our articles on Microsoft
Word instead of typewriters, and our students can read
the latest issue on their smartphones instead of just in
print—but I reckon that the issues we’re concerned about
are fundamentally the same: we want to give Douglas
College a quality publication, filled with interesting content
that reflects everyone’s experiences as young people and
students.
My only hope is that 35 years from now, The Other Press will
still find a way into our children’s hands, too.
