IC names news editor

The Independent Collegian has named Amanda Pitrof as news editor for the upcoming year.

Pitrof, a third-year student majoring in communication, previously served as associate news editor last spring. She said she is very enthusiastic about her new position and plans to “inform the IC’s audience of newsworthy material in a timely, accurate and objective way.”

Her goals for this fall include coaching new reporters and learning what it takes to put together a newspaper.

“I think what I am most excited about is being able to work with my colleagues and friends again and to build those bonds with our new reporters and photographers,” Pitrof said. “I know this will be a good semester for us, and I can’t wait to see us as an organization grow in knowledge and skill.”

The IC, which is the University of Toledo’s independent student newspaper, is operated by the Collegian Media Foundation, a nonprofit organization.
