The South Texan Gets New Editor for Fall ‘08 By
Staff Reports |
 Reyes |
Juan Carlos Reyes, senior communications major of Corpus Christi has been awarded the position on editor-in-chief of The South Texan student newspaper for Texas A&M University-Kingsville.
Reyes joined the student newspaper Spring 2007 but has been involved in other student publications and medias prior to his education at TAMUK.
He was recently Sports Editor for The South Texan and has covered several university events including sporting events, entertainment, features and news.
“I’ve gained enough experience and diversified myself as more than just a sports writer,” Reyes said. “I want the student body to understand that.”
Before working at The South Texan, Reyes worked as sports editor and columnist of Del Mar College’s The Foghorn student newspaper.
Reyes received both his associate degrees in radio/TV and journalism at Del Mar College.
His interest in journalism began when he was asked to write a column for an advertising course while at Del Mar College. Soon after that he was asked to join the staff of The Foghorn.
“I realized this is my future and this is what I want to do,” Reyes said.
Reyes said that he intends on making the student newspaper at TAMUK even more student-oriented by adding more music and band reviews, features on student and faculty members and web blogs to the student newspaper’s web site.
“I think that everybody including students and faculty have something special about them,” Reyes said.
Reyes also said that he intends on working well with Campus Activities, Student Activities, Dean of Students office, Student Government Association president and the TAMUK community.
“I think I have the personality to do something like that,” Reyes said, giggling.
