Kris Long, Print Editor-in-Chief
Senior Kris Long is the Print Editor-In-Chief for the Mentor. He has been a member of staff since his freshman year.
Long joined the staff when he was in the intro to journalism class his freshman year because of his interest in writing soccer and opinions.
“I’ve written about 177 stories in the past three years,” Long said. “One of my most interesting stories to write was the obituary for Sammy the cockatoo. It was a fun story to write.”
One thing Long loves to talk about and learn about is politics.
“I kind of live and breathe politics,” he said. “I think paying attention to politics it important to being a good citizen.”
Long also loves interviewing people and informing them about the latest news.
“I write a lot of news stories about the board,” he said.
When not in class or focusing on academics, Long can be found watching his favorite soccer team, Everton, or rock climbing.
