Katie Smith, Editor-in-Chief (Spring 2015)

My name is Katie Smith. I am a journalism student at Eastern with a concentration in photojournalism and minors in creative writing and film studies. I am currently the Editor-in-Chief at the Daily Eastern News. I have previously served as the photo editor, staff photographer and a staff reporter. I expect to graduate in May 2015 and go on to a career in journalism as a photographer and feature writer. If you have any questions, you may contact me at kesmith2@eiu.edu.
