| Junior Jake Wright will lead the IDS in spring 2011. |
“I want to expand more on what we have done this semester and look at what stories deserve a big space and which deserve a small space to serve our readers,” Wright said in a news release.
The board interviews candidates each semester to select the next semester’s leader. Wright has had several positions on the Daily Student staff, including managing editor and art director. Wright has written for the Arbutus yearbook and served as a special projects intern for Indianapolis Monthly last summer.
The editor-in-chief is accountable for all content printed in the Daily Student. In addition, the editor is responsible for selecting and managing students for the staff.
“I like that Jake has a design background and editorial background,” Brubeck said. “As editor-in-chief, he can be both design and editorial, and people will be able to see that in the spring.”
Wright is double majoring in journalism and apparel merchandising. Within his journalism major, he is focusing on magazine writing and reporting. After graduation, he said he plans to pursue a job or internship with a large newspaper or magazine.
Student editors of the IDS, Arbutus and Inside magazine are in charge of publications content, with editorial independence granted by the IU Board of Trustees. The publications and their sites comprise IU Student Media, a self-supporting IU auxiliary. The Daily Student, first published in 1867, publishes 15,000 copies per day with an online readership of 230,000 users per month.
