The Art of Failing: What I've Learned as an Editor

By: Emily Crane | The Miami Student

Editing is not my thing. It was never a dream of mine to be an editor, to spend my nights pouring over lines and lines of copy looking for stray commas and trying to remember the difference between “council” and “counsel.” When I accepted the job as news editor for The Miami Student, I didn’t do it because I thought I would love it; I accepted because I wanted to see growth in the newspaper and I thought I could do a thing or two to help. Little did I know just how much growth I would see in myself.
