About the Contributor

Payton Prichard, Reveille Multimedia Editor

Why did you join the Reveille?

I joined to have a creative outlet and explore sides of photography I never had before. I’m glad I did because I found my passion (and changed my major to Journalism).

What positions have you held at the Reveille?

I was a photographer for one year and I’m now the Multimedia Editor!

What’s your favorite thing about working at the Reveille?

Traveling with our Sports staff for away games. Not only have I gotten to make lasting friendships with my coworkers, I’ve also had the chance to see an LSU championship or two!

What’s your favorite story that you’ve worked on so far?

My favorite assignment was when I covered the 2025 Men’s College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. I was there for a little shy of two weeks and had the chance to shoot eight strong teams fighting for a championship title. I’m very proud of the content I produced from my time there and very happy the Tigers finished on top!

What do you hope to do after graduation?

If I get my way, I’ll be a Creative Content Producer or Team Photographer for a National Hockey League (NHL) team! Traveling with the Carolina Hurricanes or the New Jersey Devils for a literal job would be a dream come true.
