As the Free Press’ current editor-in-chief, Ciara O’Brien, will be graduating at the conclusion of this school year, the remaining staff has been on the search for a successor. After a lengthy interview process, including candidates recently graduating from Princeton and Cornell, it was determined that the perfect candidate was, well, a bit closer to home.
The Free Press is excited to announce that the Editor-In-Chief for the 2022-2023 school year will be current Free Press ghostwriter Bowie P. Cat. Bowie has long been contributing to the Free Press, writing for Staff Reporter Sophia Gilbart and frequently submitting articles as a “Guest Contributor,” so it’s exciting that Bowie is finally moving up in the world. In light of this development, we sat down with Bowie so McDaniel students can get to know the new editor-in-chief of the Free Press.
