NEW MANAGEMENT. Senior Bridgette Miranda, revises a gallery on the website on Oct 8, 2022. In May 2022, Stephen Green interviewed Miranda for a new position in staff, he was thinking of switching her from the boys sports editor to a photography editor, but he asked two questions for her to decide what she was going to end up with, therefore she chose the first one which led to her being a Web Editor in Chief. “The switch was really big, it was SUPER big and I didn’t think that I was gonna be running a whole bunch of people,” Miranda said. She realized that she had the knowledge to help out with her reporters even though in the beginning she thought she wasn’t gonna do enough to help out. “I thought I was just gonna sit around and do nothing, but I actually know how to read and fix stories, edit, help which makes me feel that’s the reason why he gave me the position and I honestly love it cause I was able to change the name and it’s like my journalism dream come true,” Miranda said.
