Mia Swanson, Managing Editor

This is Mia Swanson’s third year with the Southerner, and their first year as the Southerner’s Managing Editor. Swanson is very excited to be this year’s Managing Editor, which they’ve been looking forward to all summer. Swanson enjoys working on newspaper behind the scenes and helping all aspects of the paper come together. They enjoy teaching and helping out students, which they had a lot of experience with this summer. Swanson volunteered at the Urban Arts summer program where they helped students of all ages pursue their creative endeavors.

 

Swanson is considering a career in journalism. They entered high school with a passion for filmmaking and documentaries but feel that journalism offers a similar opportunity to tell stories. Through the Southerner, Swanson has shed light on important issues and their effects on the South community on topics ranging from the homeless population to mass incarceration. In their free time, Swanson enjoys painting, spending time with friends, and skateboarding. (They had a nasty accident last spring on their sixteenth birthday, but they’re hoping to get back on their board soon!) If you haven’t met Swanson yet, just wander South’s hallways for a while and they’ll probably find you while on the prowl for story ideas.

In cold December, people from all over Minnesota came together for the Homeless Memorial March and Service. They held signs of the names of those who have died in Minnesota while homeless and marched for two miles in silence to commemorate those lost. Although many students at South might not realise it, homelessness can be a part of their classmates lives as well. Photo: Mia Swanson

You can tune in any hour of the day any day of the year to listen to the swing of jazz and the stories of the local community. All of this is part of the forty-five year old radio station, called Jazz 88 at 88.5 FM.
