Former editor Andrew Thompson reflects on his time at W&L and its future.
I became an editor of The Spectator in late summer of 2022, along with Kamron Spivey, ‘24, as co-editor and Henry Haden, ‘25, as business manager. We hit the ground running with a resurrected print edition and a focus on reporting campus news neglected by the Ring-tum Phi and hidden by the administration.
Working with Kamron and Henry to develop impactful content and, in effect, learn to run a small business was my most fulfilling and valuable involvement at W&L. I am pleased to call both of them now good friends, and I have been privileged to grow close to the rising generation of Spectator staff who will now fulfill the paper’s mission.
