On March 15, Kristin Chapman ’24 and Manasi Singh ’24 will assume the roles of Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of The Dartmouth to head the paper’s 180th directorate. They will replace outgoing Editor-in-Chief Emily Lu ’23 and Publisher Amy Park ’23, respectively.

Chapman is an English major from Rye, New York, who started writing for The Dartmouth her freshman fall and served as associate news managing editor in the winter term of her sophomore year. She coedited the Commencement special issue last spring and the Freshman special issue last fall.

Singh is majoring in politics, philosophy and economics and anthropology, and hails from Cincinnati, Ohio. She started writing for the news section of The Dartmouth during her freshman fall before transitioning to the business staff’s strategy section in her sophomore year. She said that her background in writing will help her maintain a strong relationship between the editorial and business sides of the paper. 

In terms of goals for their tenure, both Chapman and Singh said that they want to focus on the onboarding process for staff members and the sense of community in the newsroom. Chapman said this priority was driven by the difficult experience of joining the paper at the height of the pandemic. 

“My freshman year, being a reporter was really challenging,” Chapman said. “That motivates me to want to create an expanded training program to make the adjustment a bit easier for future generations of writers. Even though they’re not starting in a pandemic, I’d like them to have a stronger sense of community from the start.”
