Editor’s statement

Connor Grypma | Demo 64

After the promotion of my superior, Dylan Rider, I am excited to take on the role of sports editor for the upcoming school year.

My name is Connor Grypma. After reporting for the Torch’s sports section last semester, I’m fortunate enough to be in charge. I will be a senior next semester, and I am majoring in journalism and technical communications.

The world of sports at Ferris, and nationwide, is constantly changing. We have the opportunity to spread the word to all of our readers every week. Here are a few changes I’d like to implement within the sports section for next year.

Same-day reporting can elevate the sports section into an even more newsworthy and reliable source. Being able to put out information as soon as possible for our readers will continue to raise awareness and the importance of our stories.

Introducing more variety into the section has been a long-term goal for sports, and I believe it’s in our best interest. Producing different forms of stories outside of the game recaps will make the section feel fresh every single week and provide a different view of our Bulldog athletes that you won’t see from the surface level. While game recaps are still important to the section and convey useful information, we cannot be bogged down by them every weekly edition.

I’m excited about the product we, as a team, will put out this upcoming year. Bringing you the best in Ferris sports is my top priority, and we will stop at nothing less to do so.
