Gregorio Olivares Gutierrez, Editor-In-Chief: The Retrograde (UT-Dallas)
Description
On this episode we're joined by Gregorio Olivares Gutierrez. He is a political science and philosophy student at the University of Texas at Dallas. He's the editor-in-chief of The Retrograde, a student newspaper that operates independent of school administration.
He previously was editor-in-chief of The Mercury, which was the campus newspaper that received funding from the school, until school administration took an extremely hostile position towards the paper and local media, leading to a series of events discussed in this episode.
Gregorio talked about his journalism interest (he took an atypical path to it) and described what he and his staff have been through.
