Staff shares stories as part of transparency initiative By Haley Canderlario @H_Candelario98
The Rocky Mountain Collegian serves the Colorado State University community as the daily student-run newspaper. The publication was founded in 1891 as a university publication, but it separated from CSU in 2008 following a decision to run an editorial that read “Taser this … F*ck Bush” in response to the University of Florida tasing incident. The publication gained editorial independence from CSU after 2008, allowing students the
full authority to decide what stories are covered and published. Students at The Collegian are allowed to criticize and praise the University in stories that are true and unbiased, following the Code of Ethics outlined by the Society of Professional Journalists. The Collegian became a 501(c)3 non-profit company, known as Rocky Mountain Student Media Corporation, in August 2008 following the publication’s separation from the University. The corporation houses The Collegian newspaper, College Avenue Magazine, the
KCSU radio station, the Collegian Television station, Student Video Productions, the OnSpec video training team and advertising, marketing and creative services staffs. RMSMC’s mission is to provide students with learning experiences by offering hands-on experiences in various forms of media. The corporation receives half of its $1.2 million budget from the advertising and marketing staffs and the remaining half from student fee money allocated by the Associated Students of CSU, the University’s student govern-
ment. Because a majority of RMSMC’s funding comes from student fees, the corporation and The Collegian began an initiative in May 2017 to increase transparency with its readers and members of the campus community. The Collegian dedicated the first day of publishing of the school year to introducing its readers to the student editors providing them content this academic year and to reflect on the most impactful stories of the 2017-2018 school year as part of this ongoing initiative.
The Collegian is one of the oldest daily student newspapers west of the Mississippi River and the only student-run daily newspaper in Colorado. It is a digital-first publication with content published on our website daily while also printing Monday through Thursday with special editions on Friday. We hope you enjoy reading about the students who spend many late nights putting this paper together, and we hope you’ll continue reading The Collegian throughout the year.

About The Collegian news desk By Austin Fleskes & Natalia Sperry @CSUCollegian
Editor’s note: As part of a media transparency initiative, on Aug. 20, 2018, The Collegian spent the first day of publishing of the year telling our readers about us. Since its founding, The Collegian news desk has been responsible for reporting on the most newsworthy happenings on the Colorado State University campus, as well as the greater Fort Collins and Larimer County area. From breaking news to campus events, the news desk is in charge of keeping the community up to date on what is happening around them at all times. The 2018-2019 Collegian news desk is made up of a varied crew of student journalists from several different age groups and majors. Ever growing, the news desk continues to attract journalists from all sorts of backgrounds. Reporters and editors alike follow the code of ethics created by the Society for Professional Journalists. The code reads that journalists should strive to seek the truth and report it, to minimize
harm, to act independently and to be accountable and transparent. This code is the building blocks for our reporters, and each story is written according to these guidelines. Students, faculty and community members can expect a wide variety of content from The Collegian news team. Be it a car crash on Elizabeth Street or the newest Associated Students of Colorado State University session, the news desk will be there to cover it and provide readers with all the information needed. Everything that reporters write for The Collegian is intended to inform the public on everything that is occurring or will occur in the community that they all inhabit. The ultimate goal of the news desk is to serve the community that we write for. By following the SPJ code of ethics and doing everything we can to report every story to it’s fullest extent, we hope to provide a detailed and interesting look into what is happening around CSU. Austin Fleskes and Natalia Sperry can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Editor’s note: As part of a media transparency initiative, on Aug. 20, 2018, The Collegian spent the first day of publishing of the year telling our readers about us. Austin Fleskes is a third-year journalism and history double major and will serve as the news director of The Rocky Mountain Collegian for the 2018-2019 school year. Fleskes grew up in Highlands Ranch and has been writing for journalistic publications since his freshman year of high school. He was a reporter for his high school newspaper, and was the co-editorin-chief his senior year. Once at Colorado State University, Fleskes quickly sought out The Collegian and began his job as a news reporter. He was promoted at the end of the 2017-2018 school year to the position of news director when former news director Haley Candelario was promoted
College Avenue Magazine staff as a designer at the beginning of her sophomore year and became editor-in-chief of the publication her second semester working for the publication. After creating a solid base for College Avenue, Holsinger wanted to expand her student media experience and applied to be the assistant design editor of The Collegian during the 2017-2018 school year, then went on to become the head design editor the same year.

Editor’s note: As part of a media transparency initiative, on Aug. 20, 2018, The Collegian spent the first day of publishing of the year telling our readers about us. Natalia Sperry is The Collegian news editor for the 20182019 school year. Sperry is a sophomore English major with dual concentrations in literature and creative writing and is minoring in technical and science communication. She is also a member of the University Honors Program and is the 2018-2019 webmaster for The Collegian. After getting a taste for journalism in her senior year of high school, Sperry knew she wanted to pursue a job at The Collegian from the moment she committed to Colorado State University. She did not, however, anticipate developing such a love for the news desk in particular. While English continues to be her passion, her time as a reporter on the news desk taught her the value of community journalism, something she hopes to continue to provide as an editor.

Editor’s note: As part of a media transparency initiative, on Aug. 20, 2018, The Collegian spent the first day of publishing of the year telling our readers about us. This column should not take away from anyone else’s experiences on October 19. It simply expresses how I, one of the reporters for that story, felt through the day. Last October was when Savannah McNealy was killed. We all woke up to alerts on our phone about an overnight shooting, with the all clear alert being sent out at 4:50, long before many students were awake. I got to the newsroom around 8:00 that morning. Three of my coworkers had already been on the story. My CTV colleagues Emma Iannacone and Grace Reader, now a reporter in Colorado Springs, had put together a package that I published and posted on our social media channels. Shortly after, my editor Rachel Telljohn roped me in to helping with the article. We didn’t know much at the time. The shooting had been hours earlier and we still only knew that it had happened, where it was and
how many people were involved. In the back of our minds we suspected that it involved at least one CSU student, but there was no confirmation until later. Throughout the morning we slowly collected more info, including confirmation that a student was involved, although the name was kept a secret for privacy reasons. We were proud of ourselves. We were beating all the major news outlets in the area, even CBS4 and the Coloradoan. I continued going to class that day, although I let my professors, both in the journalism department, know what was up and kept checking my phone for any updates. Then the big info came. At that point, we knew the deceased was a CSU student, but none of us expected to know her. Fort Collins Police Services had doneagoodjobofropingoffthearea. I had managed to get some photos of the scene through the grapevine, but they were all low-quality photos that didn’t show detail. Someone, somehow, got a good look at the body and recognized Savannah. Immediately, every feeling of pride the four of us felt disappeared, and we deserved it. Honestly, we’d become cocky that day. We got so caught up in the fun of reporting we forgot what we were doing was real. It was real, and we’d thrown that out
the window for our pride. And we sat on that knowledge for hours. By pure chance, we had been able to identify Savannah. We agreed among ourselves not to release the name until the Larimer County Coroner’s Office did, although we did inform authorities that we knew it was her. We gathered in the newsroom that afternoon and let out our feelings. Lots of crying, lots of talking, lots of no talking. I remember asking our advisor, Jim Rodenbush, how I was supposed to write that it was Savannah. He replied honestly: “I have no f*cking clue.” Afterwards, we continued our work. Rachel, Emma, Grace and I had kept up with new information on our phones, but we’d tabled compiling it together. That night, I went to CTV broadcast. We didn’t include her name. Twenty minutes after the show ended, we got confirmation that we could reveal it was Savannah. That was the most difficult line I’ve ever had to write: “The Collegian can confirm that the name of the deceased is Savannah McNealy. She was an employee of Rocky Mountain Student Media Corporation, which operates The Collegian.” Stuart Smith can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Year in review: Collegian news desk covers frequent acts of white supremacy on campus
Looking back on the arrest of DACA recipient
By Haley Candelario @H_Candelario98
Editor’s note: As part of a media transparency initiative, on Aug. 20, 2018, The Collegian spent the first day of publishing of the year telling our readers about us. Last year, Collegian news reporters frequently covered what the University considers bias-motivated incidents. It started with one video, posted around Aug. 19 by student Elijah Thomas, which showed a crepe-paper noose hanging outside the door of his dorm in Newsom Hall. Thomas, a Black resident assistant in Newsom, was the target of what the University considers a “bias-motivated” incident. This was the beginning of a string of incidents that continued throughout the year. The Collegian estimates that we reported on more than 20 hate crimes during the 2017-2018 school year, compared to virtually no reports of campus hate crimes the year prior. The Collegian even partnered with ProPublica on a project to gather data on hate crimes and bias incidents in the United States. On Aug. 29, The Collegian reported on the fake noose in Newsom Hall. On Aug. 30, The Collegian reported on a former CSU student who participated in the Charlottesville rally as a member of the alt-
right. On Oct. 4, The Collegian reported a campus wireless network had been renamed “F*ck Jews”, and “Hail Hitler” was written on a Jewish student’s door. On Oct. 12. The Collegian reported on a public Snapchat of a student painted with a swastika in Durward Hall. On Oct. 29, The Collegian reported on a mannequin found in a dumpster near Moby Arena covered with Nazi symbols. On Feb. 2, The Collegian reported on white nationalists and antifa protesters clashing outside the Lory Student Center where conservative student group Turning Point USA hosted a speech by Charlie Kirk. On Feb. 26, The Collegian reported on white supremacist posters found in academic buildings. On March 4, The Collegian reported on flyers distributed across campus with a logo from a group associated with white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups. On April 5, The Collegian reported on anti-Muslim incidents at the University Village Apartments. As The Collegian continued our reporting, many of us felt this campus was no longer safe for students of color, students of various religious groups and students who were a part of Colorado State University’s LGBTQ community. As a response, CSU students joined together to create the coalition Students Against White Su-
premacy to call attention to acts of white supremacy on campus. And The Collegian recognized the flaw in our language: These weren’t bias-motivated incidents like we had initially reported. These were acts of white supremacy. Reporters on The Collegian news desk took on the difficult task of covering hate on campus. But we recognize that the difficulty we experienced as reporters contrasted against the difficulty members of our campus targeted by these acts faced. While it pained us to write these stories, we could not fathom the pain and anger students who were targeted by these issues felt. We care about the reporting we do at The Collegian, and we feel our reporting on these issues allowed members of our campus community to take action and speak out on these issues. While we may never experience the same emotion as students directly impacted by acts of white supremacy, we will continue to cover the issues as they come up. It took us too long to start reporting these issues as acts of white supremacy, and while we wish called them out sooner, we approach this school year as an opportunity to raise more awareness about these issues on campus and continue learning how we can better report on acts of white supremacy. Haley Candelario can be reached at editor@collegian.com.

Editor’s note: As part of a media transparency initiative, on Aug. 20, 2018, The Collegian spent the first day of publishing of the year telling our readers about us. January 18, 2018: The federal government is two days away from shutting down from lack of funding, Congress is putting as much effort into pointing fingers as they are into stopping it, and the national news media is kicking up a storm about our impending doom. Somewhere in this whirlwind of political dysfunction, a Colorado State University student is arrested in Washington D.C. The student was Brithany Gutierrez, a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipient. She had been protesting for Congress to pass a clean Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, a central dispute in the imminent shutdown. Her arrest lit up The Collegian’s news desk GroupMe that Thursday afternoon as editors scrambled to find someone to interview her. I did not know her arrest would become one of the most read stories of the school year then. All I knew was I should probably take the story. I was able to speak with Gutierrez that night, possibly one of the quickest interview turnarounds I have ever had. She had gone to D.C. with the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition to lobby Congress and protest at certain senator’s offices, urging them to pass a clean DREAM Act with the spending bill. To make her point stronger, she volunteered to be arrested by refusing to leave the area outside Sen. Chuck Grassley’s office after three police warnings. CIRC later paid her bail. Regardless of political affiliation, I’ve always been amazed by the power of passion plus determination, and Gutierrez, in her actions, embodied both. As a budding journalist, I was fascinated to learn of the many details poured into an act of protest such as this. Every action was to make a point, from the senator’s they chose to protest to the location of the protest (inside versus outside the office significantly changed the risk of arrest). It took hours to fact check the details surrounding and leading up to Gutierrez’s arrest. I spent half an hour alone finding Grassley’s exact stance on immigrant rights, due to a request from my editor, Haley Candelario, delaying publication until
Colorado State University senior ethnic studies major and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipient Brithany Gutierrez is arrested by Metropolitan Police in Washington, D.C. Gutierrez has been in Washington, D.C. with the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition since Tuesday to Congress members to pass a “clean” Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act.

the next day. Looking back on it now, I consider the piece one of my most thorough. But as proud as I was of the composition of the article, I never expected it to break 1,000 reads in the first few days or rise to 7,000 later in the week. I realized this was a story this campus cared about. And while Gutierrez’s arrest was not specifically covered by any other media outlet and the general protests were lost in the larger media scene. That, to me, makes the story and the attention it received even more uniquely situated to us as a campus newspaper and as students. The Collegian is a paper for this student body and while yes, national and larger state events do affect us, it doesn’t always feel like it. In this story, I saw layers of actions and consequences reverberating from national tensions to the nation’s president to state organizations right down to one fellow student’s act of defiance. It was an almost perfect example of the place each story has in a bigger event and the importance of giving voice to each of them; that is the role I strive to fulfill as a journalist.

McWilliams: Reflecting on ‘Abortion should be safe, not illegal’ column Leta McWilliams @LetaMcWilliams
Editor’s note: As part of a media transparency initiative, on Aug. 20, 2018, The Collegian spent the first day of publishing of the year telling our readers about us. Thank you to everyone who
read my article about safe abortions. Abortion, like many other hot topics in the news, is something I am extremely passionate about and will continue to be passionate about. Though this article wasn’t exactly local, abortion is an important topic to talk about on college campuses. Sixty percent of women getting abortions are in their 20’s, which is the demographic of most women who are studying at the collegiate level. Above anything else, I wanted
this topic to be discussed seriously and for students to understand how relevant this topic is. I’m thrilled this article received the amount of publicity it did. I’m happy that I was able to spark such a good conversation about something that affects many students on our campus. Leta McWilliams can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

Meet your editors: Luke Zahlmann, sports director By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann
Editor’s note: As part of a media transparency initiative, on Aug. 20, 2018, The Collegian spent the first day of publishing of the year telling our readers about us. Luke Zahlmann is the sports director of The Collegian for the 2018-2019 school year. Zahlmann has been working for The Collegian since his freshman year and moved up to director for the upcoming year after a one-year stint as assistant sports editor during the 2017-2018 school year. Since Zahlmann was little, he has leaned on his dad for sports and gained a love for them through him. Zahlmann grew up in Larkspur and Colorado Springs and graduated from Coronado High School. Zahlmann played
baseball throughout high school and played football and basketball before high school. A finalist for the Pinnacle Sports Columnist of the Year award, Zahlmann has written a weekly column on Thursdays since last year. He is most proud of a feature he wrote on Marybeth Sant in which he dove into her life and was able to talk to her high school coach and parents in Florida, developing a deep understanding of the road that led Sant to become a Rams’ track and field runner. Now as the leader of the sports desk, Zahlmann will lead the charge for the section that has grown exponentially in the past couple of years under former directors Colin Barnard and Justin Michael. Collegian Sports Director Luke Zahlmann can be reached at sports@collegian.com

Zahlmann: The storylines that made the year Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann
Editor’s note: As part of a media transparency initiative, on Aug. 20, 2018, The Collegian spent the first day of publishing of the year telling our readers about us. In an effort to reflect on the 2017-2018 year for The Collegian sport’s section, ahead are the three most impactful stories last year.

1. Larry Eustachy resigns Spearheaded by former Collegian Sports Director Justin Michael, the coverage of Larry Eustachy’s resignation was the most impactful development of the year for The Collegian sports section. With several breaking developments first reported by Michael, the publication received further recognition than ever before for the writers. On several sites, including ESPN, Michael’s coverage was nationwide news, something that will impact the section for years to come. Putting pressure on the University to divulge the facts, Michael was able to impact the entire community, putting the truth above all else. 2. CSU Softball protests inequality Mack Beaulieu made his appearance on major outlets with his coverage of the Colorado
State softball protest. The protest occurred after the indoor practice facility on campus was overtaken by the CSU football team, despite softball being in season, while football was not. Beaulieu allowed the team’s voices to be heard further with interviews directly preceding the protest, with candid input from several players that put the school on notice through the nation. The story would not have been possible had Beaulieu not been in tune with the program, an attribute that many writers pride themselves on at The Collegian.
3. The Littlest Big Fan Former Sports Director Colin Barnard dove into the life of mini super fan Bryce Krisl. In his article “Superstar in the stands: How Bryce Krisl captured the hearts of CSU players, fans,” Barnard chronicled the sports fandom of fiveyear-old Krisl, a mainstay in the stands of CSU sporting events. Known for his relationship with several players, including Dallas Cowboys wide receiver and former Ram Michael Gallup, Krisl has created several memories in his short span in the stands. The story was widely renowned and shared by the CSU community, many of which are familiar with Krisl and his fandom. Luke Zahlmann can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Editor’s note: As part of a media transparency initiative, on Aug. 20, 2018, The Collegian spent the first day of publishing of the year telling our readers about us. The culture of Fort Collins is vibrant and alive. There are many interesting people and events in our community, and it’s hard to describe them all in just a few words. Fort Collins is home to a diverse set of people that include artists, entrepreneurs, scholars and inventors who all have a story worth sharing. At The Rocky Mountain Collegian, the arts and culture desk serves as a gateway into the unique community of Fort Collins. We hope to bring out the humanity within our city’s culture, and our desk covers a broad expanse of topics and interests. We try to extend beyond Fort Collins to bring coverage of the growing arts and culture scene around Colorado and the nation. We create a platform for Colorado State University students to express themselves and to showcase the amazing things each one is capable of, regardless of their major area of study. Working for this desk is exciting and allows for reporters to write about what they are passionate about while learning and gaining experiences from local experts and enthusiasts. Our reporters also strive to better connect the students and faculty at CSU. We cover numerous events that happen on campus, from musical performances to readings and lectures from esteemed scholars and activists, and feature orga-
nizations and people that are making an impression on the CSU community. Every arts and culture story has a human interest aspect that makes our desk unique, and we work to spotlight the eccentric residents of Fort Collins. We cover the people who make our school and community amazing and who inspire students to reach their full potential. We recognize the melting pot this growing city has become and believe in the importance of representation. We hope our content serves as proof of the open-minded and inclusive community of CSU and Fort Collins. While we celebrate diversity and outside influences, the arts and culture desk also likes to focus on the unique outdoor, agricultural and college town vibe that Fort Collins brings. Coverage ranges from food and beer festivals, historical pieces on Fort Collins and CSU pioneers, features on sports that define Colorado and pieces about college life that the average student can relate to. The Collegian arts and culture desk aims to combine entertainment and education into an interesting, honest and visually-pleasing piece of journalism. In addition to an insight of art and people, we hope our pieces will spark thoughts and conversation about the relationships within current society, here and abroad.

MOVIES
Molly Bloom reacts to biographical film ‘Molly’s Game’ By Nate Day @NateMDay
It’s not every day that your life story is turned into a major motion picture. It’s also not every day that your life story involves illegal drugs, the Russian mafia and a high stakes poker game. This is the case for Molly Bloom, the inspiration behind the major motion picture “Molly’s Game.” Molly Bloom, whose father, Larry Bloom, is a retired Colorado State University professor, wrote a book detailing her wild adventure in 2014. The book, “Molly’s Game: From Hollywood’s Elite to Wall Street’s Billionaire Boys Club, My HighStakes Adventure in the World of Underground Poker,” was recently adapted into a movie simply called “Molly’s Game” that was released in movie theaters over winter break. The film stars Jessica Chastain as Molly Bloom, Kevin Costner as Professor Larry Bloom and Idris Elba as Molly Bloom’s lawyer. It was written and directed by Academy and Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin. “It was so surreal,” Larry Bloom said. “Watching this story unfold in front of me was indescribable.” Molly Bloom said she had similar feelings when she viewed the movie for the first time. “Aaron (Sorkin) told me that I should watch it by myself first,” Molly Bloom said. “But I thought it would be fine. Then when I saw it with my family, I was like ‘What was I thinking? This is an insane way to do this.’” Molly Bloom said Chastain’s performance is uncanny, right down to her fast-paced speaking and no-messing-around attitude. “There isn’t necessarily a resemblance between the two of
us,” Molly Bloom said. “But the way she transformed and adapted herself was incredible.” Larry Bloom said both Sorkin and Chastain took the occasional dramatic liberty, but overall the performances and the accuracy of the story were “phenomenal.” Molly Bloom said she worked closely on the film’s development. “I spent eight months intensely working with Aaron (Sorkin) and his team during the research phase,” Molly Bloom said. “We had charts and vend diagrams everywhere trying to work it all out.” Molly Bloom also spent time with Chastain in order to develop her character. She noted that Chastain was disarming and authentic, so she never felt uncomfortable or like she was being over analyzed. The movie faced a few rough patches as Molly Bloom had to turn down several studios because their visions didn’t match her own. When she finally settled on Sony to produce the film, the company was famously hacked and the deal fell through. Molly Bloom and Sorkin stayed the course through what she said was a perfect “instance of everything going wrong,” and the film was produced and released across the world. Molly Bloom cites the making of the film as a “one of the biggest moments in (her) life.” She also referred to the movie as an opportunity to “un-fuck” her life. Although the movie’s been made, Molly Bloom said her story is far from over. She plans on writing another book on putting your life back together after trouble and trials strike it.

Molly Bloom >> from page 19 Molly Bloom also plans to advocate for women in the workforce. As the traditional narrative of women being in lesser positions begins to shift, Molly Bloom will create membership clubs for women to
network with and offer help to one another in a professional setting with the goal of empowering them in their jobs. Molly Bloom also participates in a 12 step program to help her recover from her substance abuse, a program that Larry Bloom said she is “religiously dedicated” to. However, with several projects in the works, Molly Bloom notes that she’s enjoying “not
being in SOS mode all the time.” More about “Molly’s Game:” “Molly’s Game” was published June 24, 2014. The film adaptation premiered in September 2017. The film stars Jessica Chastain, Kevin Costner and Idris Elba, and was directed and written by Aaron Sorkin. Nate Day can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

Netherland: Reflecting on furries in Fort Collins By Henry Netherland @NetherlandHenry
Editor’s note: As part of a media transparency initiative, on Aug. 20, 2018, The Collegian spent the first day of publishing of the year telling our readers about us. As someone who uses the internet frequently, perhaps an unhealthy amount, the ‘furry’ community has always fascinated me in that it seemed like such a niche interest. It still manages to garner a noticeably large online following as well as occasional mainstream media coverage. So one day I asked myself: How common is this community, really? The furry fandom is a subculture interested in fictional anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics. As a reporter, my first task was to see if there was even an active community within the Fort Collins area. I went onto Reddit and searched the Fort Collins subreddit. I blatantly asked the thread if anyone was, or knew someone who considered themselves a furry. After a while, I garnered enough responses to get a semi-objective idea of the current state of the culture. It seemed there was more activity in the community than I originally expected. As I conducted more research, I discovered one of the most controversial figures in all of the national community actually resided in Fort Collins. His name was Lee Miller, who also went by his “fursona” Foxler Nightfire. He had been featured in a series of bizarrely titled articles featured on Rolling Stone and Vice.
These articles had linked Miller to having connections with the Nazi Party. Further research showed him being accused of bestiality as well as child grooming. In the articles featuring him, I felt like I did not get satisfying responses or explanations to the pretty heinous accusations levied against Foxler, so I decided to reach out to him myself to get answers. Contacting Foxler was difficult at first because it was hard to tell which social media platform he was active on the most. Eventually, I was able to acquire his email through one of his friends. After some email exchanges, he agreed to meet me for an interview. On a Monday night, he met me at an Old Town business in his complete fursuit to discuss the culture and the accusations. The interview lasted a little more than an hour. In that time, we discussed the many aspects of the Colorado furry community. As for the allegations he explained in great detail his side of each of the situations. The reaction to the article’s print publication was fairly positive with the article becoming one of our more popular/ controversial releases of the year. The online version was a different situation with many criticizing the portrayal of Foxler, saying the piece was defending him. Much of the additional information sent towards the Collegian that day felt unverifiable aside from an old tweet of Foxler that was published later in the day.

production manager of The Collegian. Additionally, she is completing a reporting internship for The Coloradoan, where she has covered events and entertainment, news and even business stories. Mikaela is passionate about student media as a whole but especially about fostering media literacies for audiences and presenting the best digital content a student publication has to offer. Last year, she oversaw the redesign of collegian.com with an eye towards web design that reinforces media literacy concepts. Mikaela spends a lot of time thinking about the intersections of journalism, web design, digital presentation, and better news for online environments. Despite her digital focus, her background is in print where she found
her passion for journalism as a budding student reportera and eventual editor-in-chief of her high school newspaper. As a graduate student, Rodenbaugh is currently working on research related to empathy in news audiences and news presentation. In the past she has also researched copycat effect of suicide and mass shootings related to media coverage of those events. Additionally, she is a recitation instructor for JTC 300- Professional and Technical Communication. Mikaela loves feedback on the website and anything you think The Collegian could do better as an organization. If you have any comments or suggestions for our site please email her at mrodenbaugh@ collegian.com.

Editor’s note: As part of a media transparency initiative, on Aug. 20, 2018, The Collegian spent the first day of publishing of the year telling our readers about us. Ashley Potts is a fifth-year student at Colorado State University who will work as the assistant photo editor for the 2018-2019 school year. Potts is an art major concentrating her studies on photography and has a designated second field focusing on digital and social media.

tries to explore the intersection of those two seemingly clashing areas. Over her college career, Potts has studied fine art photography and photojournalism. She has worked in student media for three years and has spent time as a photographer for the Colorado Eagles.

About The Meet your editors: Marlo Lundak, videography director Collegian Photo Desk By Marlo Lundak @marlo_lundak
By Ashley Potts @CSUCollegian
Editor’s note: As part of a media transparency initiative, on Aug. 20, 2018, The Collegian spent the first day of publishing of the year telling our readers about us. As a member of The Collegian photo desk, photographers can be exposed to dozens of new possibilities. With The Collegian, photographers can shoot anything from pictures of bands at local concert venues to presidential candidates. The photo desk allows the staff to grow as photographers and as photojournalists. There is no limit to what pictures you can take -- you are only limited by what photo assignments you choose to do. The photo desk at The Collegian does not just cover local government or the most exciting fruit stand near campus. We get exclusive access to concerts, on-the-field access at games, a behind the scenes look at politics and most importantly, you get to meet amazing contacts along the way. By being a photojournalist for The Collegian, you can gain real world skills in dozens of areas. Regardless of major, any photographer that wishes to learn new skills can shoot for us. This year, our emphasis for our photojournalists will be exploring new areas we have not touched before, such as getting more of the photography staff to the next top concert and more photographers on the scene at breaking news. Our goal is to not have photographers but to have photojournalists. We are journalists, we tell stories with our photos, and we want to take ourselves—and our cameras—to the next level of reporting. The Collegian photo desk can be reached at photo@collegian.com.
Editor’s note: As part of a media transparency initiative, on Aug. 20, 2018, The Collegian spent the first day of publishing of the year telling our readers about us. You can read more about the people behind our publication in the Editor’s Blog. Marlo Lundak is the videography director of The Collegian for the 2018-2019 school year. Lundak is beginning her senior year at Colorado State University studying journalism with a minor in Spanish. Lundak grew up in Omaha, Nebraska with her parents, siblings and two perfect pups. She got involved with The Collegian video team as a junior as a way to stay in touch with news and events on campus while also accessing her creativity through video and sharing stories with others. In addition to working for The Collegian, Lundak will serve as news director and producer at Collegian TV, the student-run television station. She is also a member of the CSU Figure Skating club team. Lundak’s goal for the videography desk is to create short, informational and entertaining videos that give a recap of stories and events relevant to the CSU community that reporters for the newspaper cover, such as CSUnite and the Pride Resource Center’s semester drag show. If you see Lundak on campus, say hi! Marlo Lundak can be reached at video@collegian.com.

About The Collegian copy desk By Gabriel Go & Emily Myler @CSUCollegian
Editor’s note: As part of a media transparency initiative, on Aug. 20, 2018, The Collegian spent the first day of publishing of the year telling our readers about us. The Collegian’s copy desk serves an important behindthe-scenes role in student media. The desk ensures that each article is accurate, ethically written and understandable for readers each time the paper is opened. The last set of eyes to look at each story before publishing, the copy desk is expected to catch errors which previous editors have not and make certain that each story is as detailed and consistent as possible. Ultimately, the copy desk must make decisions to change, keep or pull an article based on our knowledge of Associated Press writing style and the Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics. This year, the copy desk has grown since it was eliminated
in 2016. The desk currently has two regular copy editors, led by the night editor and the copy chief. Now, the copy desk is focusing on standardizing the editing process and building cohesion between it and other desks. We also strive to increase the quality of our work and reduce errors in published articles. While admittedly not the most glamorous of jobs, the copy desk occupies a special place in The Collegian’s daily production process. As the final “line of defense” against grammatical and stylistic mistakes, the copy desk maintains a constant presence in the newsroom: Copy editors work from 6:00 p.m. until midnight from Sunday to Wednesday, reading and editing stories for the next day’s issue. Copy editors are incredibly proud of their work, knowing they help deliver the best of the entire Collegian. Gabriel Go and Emily Myler can be reached at copy@collegian.com.

Meet your editors: Gabriel Go, night editor By Gabriel Go @rgabrielgo
Editor’s note: As part of a media transparency initiative, on Aug. 20, 2018, The Collegian spent the first day of publishing of the year telling our readers about us. You can read more about the people behind our publication in the Editor’s Blog. Gabriel Go is The Collegian’s night editor for the 2018-19 school year and a junior studying journalism and political science with a minor in French. Go was born and raised in Manila, The Philippines and immigrated to Colorado in 2012. He has since been living in the state and is just as proud to call himself a Coloradoan as he is to be Filipino. He mildly winces at the nickname “Gabe” and pre-
fers to be called “Gab” instead. Ironically, he is only slightly fluent in Filipino compared to English. He blames this on an obsession with American movies and TV when he was younger (which is still true today). Being the night editor is the latest in Go’s posts working at The Collegian. Gabriel started working for The Collegian in spring 2016, starting as a volunteer news reporter and then moving on to cover the Associated Students of Colorado State University and Fort Collins’s city government. A writer at heart, Go is excited to apply his experiences as a reporter and wordsmith in helping manage the paper’s nightly production process. Gabriel Go can be reached at copy@collegian.com.
