![]() She is a sophomore Biology major, English minor (because Reedies can’t just pick one special interest) and she is looking forward to meeting all of the new and old contributors of this unique publication – and as a certified people-person, she would love to talk to you! ![]() Her best friend is her car, Motor (he/him), who is covered in bumper stickers and mud. From the olden days of making silly little charts on the whiteboards in Trillium and asking to publish them in the Quest she somehow has graduated to the editorial board. Usually running frantically between classes and chugging a Yerb is new editor Lindsey Babcock. These workshops are a fantastic way to collaborate on work and get to know fellow journalism-minded Reedies.Īnd while we prefer for contributors to attend meetings, any work you wish to submit may be emailed to individual editors or to We look forward to hearing from you!Īs for us editors, well … look no further (and yes, we know we’re one down - we’re in the process of emergency hiring for our fifth seat, stay tuned): In addition to our usual contributors’ meetings, the new Tuesday night workshops from 7 PM – 10 PM in our office are a great place for contributors to get a head start on the week’s stories. A reminder that no prior news writing experience is necessary to participate in the Quest, so join us Monday evenings in GCC 047 to learn how you can contribute! We look forward to hearing all of your ideas for this semester’s coverage, and we are always striving to make sure that the Quest serves the student body in the best possible way. It’s been amazing to see such enthusiasm and passion from our initial group of contributors, and our goal is to make sure every contributors’ meeting this semester is packed with Reedies eager to get started in journalism. We’re also investing in innovation - with a brand new overhaul to our site () and new tools developed by Reed students from the ground up (to those of you playing the sudoku online this week, just wait until you see the source code for that one.) And we’re exploring new publication channels - from Meta’s Threads to our new mailing list - to make the latest news from Reed more accessible than ever. ![]() We’re moving contributors’ meetings to Monday nights at 7:00 PM to give writers and editors more time in the week to work on new stories, and, as always, we’re leaving the door (mostly) open during our Wednesday editing night to preserve the transparency of our editing process, and we welcome any and all community members to stop by to learn more about our work. We’re working to make our editing process more transparent, and opening up a journalist’s workshop on Tuesday nights in the Quest office for our wonderful contributors to stop by, collaborate with us or each other on the latest stories, and ask for our advice. So here is how we will serve you this year. But it’s also a heavy responsibility, and a constant reminder that, above all else, we serve you: our readers. It’s a privilege, in a way - we have, literally, your vote of support for the work that we do here at the Quest. As we’ve learned from our fellow editors at the Associated Collegiate Press - Reed’s system of electing each year’s editorial board by popular vote is extremely rare (ie, we have yet to encounter another paper that does it anywhere in the US.) Greetings Reedies, and welcome to the Fall 2023 semester from us at the Quest! While we’ve changed our schedule in a desperate attempt to keep editing nights from running into the early morning, we still look forward to inevitably staying awake to medically inadvisable hours to bring all you wonderful people the best college newspaper in the Southeast Portland area.Īll joking aside, here at the Quest we understand the burden of producing a paper that is, for better or worse, the newspaper of record for a century of history on this campus.
