She replaced the original associate news editor, Jasmine Wang.The current Editor in Chief, Anna Mazarakis '16, served as head news editor for one full year before taking office. Both Marcelo Rochabrun '15 and Luc Cohen '14, the newspaper's last two Editors, served a full year as associate news editors before starting their terms.Associate Street editor Harrison Blackman '17 originally announced his candidacy for the Editor position but dropped out before election day.
