On Saturday, a committee will pick the next editor of The Daily Tar Heel. I hope to be that person.

This has been my dream job for longer than I can remember, and it would be the highest honor to serve the paper in this capacity next year. I’ve learned a lot this year as managing editor and have a lot of ideas about what we can do to make the DTH better in print and online.

I could not have a worthier opponent. I know the paper will be in good hands regardless of which of us gets this gig on Saturday.
