Adam Zuckerman, Editor-in-Chief

Name: Adam Zuckerman

Age: 17

Class: 2010

Year in Journalism: 3rd

Why are you taking Journalism?

I want to improve my writing, and I like writing in a more free manner than I usually have to in an English Class. I also like finding news and reporting it to the masses.

What type of stories will you most likely write (i.e. sports, features, opinion, etc.)?

I am editor-in-chief, so I will be covering random stories that nobody else can cover, and I will be overseeing the newspaper as a whole. I will be editing articles and helping writers find newsworthy stories.

What are your hobbies other than journalism?

Outside of school, I am a competitive soccer player and avid poker player. I enjoy playing other sports such as basketball, tennis, and golf
