The Pilot is a student run newspaper at Principia College in Elsah, Illinois. The mission with this podcast is to inform and share the latest news and relevant information in a way to serve the campus community.
Our first episode of the semester features our host and Pilot Managing Editor Hannah Wymer as well as our two guests, Pilot Editors-in-Chief Ethan Booth and Goodluck Ajeh. They’ve got some advice to share about what it takes to be a journalist at Principia and how you can get involved if you want to learn more. Also, stay tuned to hear the latest news on campus: A new food vendor in the dining hall, a new spiritual life assistant.
Our second episode of the semester features two writers from The Pilot, Bri King and Acadia Vance. King and Vance have insights on what the writing process looks like for them and give a sneak-peak into their joint preview article of Monitor Night Live, an annual event at Principia College featuring a panel of editors from The Christian Science Monitor. Also, listen to hear the latest news on campus: The demotion of the rugby team, driver’s license support for international students, and the opening of the art gallery.
