From the Editor’s Desk: The magic of The Miami Student
By Tim Carlin | March 10, 2022I was recently asked what being editor-in-chief has meant to me, and my answer was simple. Everything.
Tim Carlin is The Miami Student’s editor-in-chief. Tim, a senior studying journalism and American studies, joined The Student during his first week at Miami and has been writing for the publication ever since.
He’s written everything from news, to sports, to opinion during his three years at The Student. He’s beyond excited to take on this new role, and he can’t wait to continue delivering quality journalism to the Miami and Oxford community.
This summer, Tim had the opportunity to intern at Ohio's largest newspaper, The Columbus Dispatch. He honed his reporting and writing skills while working with some of Ohio's best journalists and learned leaderships skills he hopes to apply this year.
When he’s not working on anything newspaper related, you can find Tim at Starbucks, or watching Sex and the City reruns.
You can contact him by email (eic@miamistudent.net) or on Twitter (@timcarlin_).
I was recently asked what being editor-in-chief has meant to me, and my answer was simple. Everything.
I’ve said before that there is beauty within grief. There is also joy within pain and love within loss.
"Winter Break Pop Culture Round-Up" is the 12th episode of The Miami Student's entertainment podcast, Pop Culture Convos. This week, entertainment editor David Kwiatkowski is joined by EIC Tim Carlin and managing editor Briah Lumpkins to discuss all the media they consumed over winter break.
But when I’m overwhelmed with this urgent need to make memories out of each moment, I try to force myself to pause. To take stock of all I have been able to do thus far.
"Nicki Minaj vs. The Barbs" is the 8th episode of The Miami Student's entertainment podcast, Pop Culture Convos. This week on Pop Culture Convos, our Editor-in-Chief Tim Carlin and Entertainment Editor David Kwiatkowski have a candid conversation about being devout Nicki Minaj fans while also realizing the implications of her controversies.
Much of an editor’s job is to look ahead. To steer a publication through uncharted waters and, more recently, unprecedented pandemics. But it's also important to stop and take stock. Take stock of where we have been and who has helped us on our journey.
But if you’re currently reading this letter in a print edition of The Student, all hope is not lost.
Here at The Student, we are deeply invested in the future of this university. If we did not care about it, we would have given up our work a long time ago.
Grief is a microcosm of life – and life is beautiful.
While Joe Biden won this year’s presidential election, Ohio’s 18 Electoral College votes went to his Republican opponent, Donald Trump. In Ohio’s state-wide elections, as well as those in Butler County, Republicans also won big.
