Media’s role is crucial

With the semester about to start the Foghorn editors thought it would be a great idea to say what we’re all about. As a crucial and well-known voice of the campus we have made it our goal to share our mission with you, our valued audience.

My name is Erin Garza-Granados and I will be the editor-in-chief for the fall 2018 semester. With my time in this position I fully intend to carry out the role that I think is expected of a student publication. The Foghorn is composed of writers, editors and photographers trying to be the voice of a whole student body. Our stories derive from the interest of the student. We inform the students and make them aware of the college community and events set up by Del Mar officials and professors. As a student publication, we are given the freedom to choose what messages are portrayed or carried out by our pieces. We look to the people around us for stories of inspiration.

My name is Jaylyn Garcia, and I am the sports and photo editor for the fall semester of 2018. I have loved sports ever since I was a little girl. My whole life I knew that one day I would find a way to make sports a part of my life even if I was not the athlete. My love for photography did not come till later on, and when I got my first camera I knew it was what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. As I hold the sports and photo editor titles I plan to improve the sports stories in the paper, and contribute pictures that help to tell the stories. Having a college paper is important because it gives the students a voice and keeps us informed on current issues regarding the school we attend. I am excited for what is to come and pray that I can meet and exceed all expectations that people may have for me and my positions.

Hi my name is Warren Maxwell and I am the web editor for the Foghorn Newspaper. I have always had a love of technology and the many platforms that have been created from it. As the new web editor it is my goal to inform students about what is happening on campus, and how they can best be prepared for it. I plan on using the many different social media outlets to ensure students are updated in a timely and orderly fashion. The main purpose of a college newspaper is to inform the student body and faculty about what is going on around campus. As a reporter it is my responsibility to make sure that a Viking’s story is told honestly and that all the facts are taken into account for. As the web editor this task is even more imperative because of the multiple platforms that are at my disposal. I plan to take this responsibility seriously and with passion.
