A joint message from the incoming Head and Managing Editors of The Torch
By Kat Tabor and River Shepherd
As we step into our roles as incoming editors, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to Chandlor Henderson for his mentorship and dedication in elevating The Torch to new heights. His hard work and commitment to both the publication and his studies at LCC and the University of Oregon have been truly inspiring. We are thrilled to congratulate him on his acceptance into the Berkeley School of Journalism and wish him all the best as he embarks on this exciting new chapter.
We are also honored to welcome him to our Board of Advisors, where we will continue to benefit from his expertise. With his guidance, we aim to carry forward the spirit of print journalism that he helped establish — not just to sustain The Torch, but to see it thrive.
As part of this vision, we are bringing back a more classic print aesthetic, embracing the timeless qualities of traditional journalism. In doing so, we honor the legacy of print and respond to the desire for a tangible, in-person connection — something that has been missed, especially in the wake of the pandemic.
We are also excited to report that our team is rapidly expanding, and we are still seeking more interested students who want to join The Torch and Denali.
