Kelli Smith | Friday, February 28, 2020

When I was elected Editor-in-Chief of The Observer one year ago, I was absolutely terrified. I was studying in Jerusalem at the time and many of us wondered if leading the paper from abroad would be possible. To be honest, I didn’t know if it was. All I knew was I’d have to communicate with

On stepping up

Kelli Smith | Monday, March 4, 2019

Six-thousand-one-hundred forty-one miles. According to Google Maps, that’s the approximate distance between Jerusalem and South Bend. On the day meant to celebrate Editor-in-Chief turnover this year, that number became painfully clear to me when the computers in the office spontaneously shut down. Since I’m studying abroad in Israel for the semester, I am thousands of

Contributing to a legacy

Courtney Becker | Friday, March 1, 2019

Every new Editor-in-Chief of The Observer inherits one heck of a legacy. That’s the nature of taking on the mantle of running a 52-year-old daily newspaper. Legends have come before you, and maybe even gone on to win a Pulitzer Prize or two. To me, the biggest legend to come before me was the Editor-in-Chief

The good old days

Benjamin Padanilam | Friday, March 2, 2018

“I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.” When I took over as Editor-in-Chief a year ago, I had no idea what exactly I was getting myself into. Sure, I had some expectation of the level of responsibility that would be required of me.
