May 12, 2013
Austin speaking: Alright, this is officially really depressing. Seeing as we will no longer be in school next Friday, today marks our last Letters From The Editors blog. In a way it will be a relief to not have to continuously hound forgetful Hanna to finish her part of the blog, but it is also sad as... Read more »

Austin speaking: Another week passed, already? I keep forgetting how little time is left in the school year. It seems as though the end is never nearing as I look at my accumulating to-do list, but in all actuality, we only have two worknights left. In newspaper speak, that roughly translates to no time...

April 15, 2013
Austin speaking: I distinctly remember this time last year. I was just a little junior being a busy bee editing all of the Arts & Entertainment pages, wondering what I would be doing on staff the next year.

Austin Gillespie, Kristina Milewski and Hanna Torline, JagWire editors-in-chief
April 5, 2013
Austin speaking: I’m sure I can speak on all of our behalves when I say Senioritis has hit us full force. For anyone unaware of the term, it’s used when a senior is referring to their laziness and lack of motivation to finish the school year. It’s April now, and we’ve certainly... Read more »

Austin speaking: I think everyone knows what we do after we finish an issue and send it to the press: we pass it out to the student body. But what happens between then and when we start pitching ideas for our next issue? We do a formal critique as a staff of our newest issue. We ask that each of our... Read more »

Austin speaking: This week has been super exciting and absolutely awesome. On Tuesday, I received a text from last year’s web editor Kaitlin Rounds congratulating me on becoming a Pacemaker finalist (of course she would be the one to creep like a nerd on the website’s whereabouts even after...

Blog: The importance of flexibility
Austin Gillespie, Kristina Milewski, Hanna Torline, JagWire editors-in-chief
March 1, 2013
Austin speaking: When you’re producing a newspaper, structure is crucial.

However, the journalism... Read more »
