Colin Falcon, Editor in Chief
Why did you join the Reveille?
I’d always wanted to be involved with the paper for mostly journalistic passion-related reasons, but I never worked up the nerve to apply. Then a good friend of mine got promoted and really wanted me to take his old job, so I did. It was honestly a great call, as it’s been a great outlet to channel the love for the printed word that I hold in my heart.
What positions have you held at the Reveille?
I started out in digital as an optimizer. Then I was a news reporter for a summer and opinion editor for a year. Now I’m happy to serve as editor in chief.
What’s your favorite thing about working at the Reveille?
The people! Throughout all the positions I’ve held, my favorite part has consistently been the other writers and editors. Just a good group of folks I wouldn’t have met if I hadn’t started here.
What’s your favorite story that you’ve worked on so far?
My bird story! I did a piece about LSU’s Natural Science Museum and its massive collection of bird specimens (over 230,000 bird skins, skeletons and stomach-content samples). I also did a series of articles about cancelled bus routes that I’m immensly proud of.
What do you hope to do after graduation?
I hope to continue reporting.
