3:48 p.m. While the hype of a white Christmas might have gone for naught this year, Dec. 26 provided all the white missing from the holiday. So much white, in fact, that a Code Red Alert has been issued for potential coastal flooding from 7:30 p.m. to midnight. While the snow had just started to dust the garden in this photograph, it is now piled high all across the state.
Dec. 26, 2012 | A White (Day After) Christmas
A varsity athlete, student ambassador, Hollywood veteran, and President of the National Honor Society, Ryder Chasin is more than an exemplary student at Staples. In fact, it’s his avid engagement with the Staples community that makes him such a skilled journalist.
Chasin knows Staples students are busy and thus not prone to scroll through lengthy articles. This is why he intends to turn the web into a multi-media experience.
At a five-week journalism program at Northwestern University, Chasin studied how to use polls, video, and social media. He believes these techniques are the best way to grab and hold a reader’s attention. Through integrating interactive elements, Chasin strives to “bring new life to the paper,” and effectively carry Inklings into the 21st century.
When he is not managing the web, Chasin can be found writing profiles or front-page stories for the print issues of Inklings. Chasin has been a part of Inklings for 3 ½ years, and he looks forward to making his last the best one yet.
