On March 15, Charlotte Hampton ’26 and Quentin Proud ’26 will assume the roles of editor-in-chief and publisher of The Dartmouth to head the paper’s 182nd directorate. They will replace outgoing Editor-in-Chief Emily Fagell ’25 and Publisher Eren Berke Saglam ’25, respectively.
Hampton is a government major and philosophy minor from New York, N.Y. She began writing for The Dartmouth in her freshman fall and served as an associate news managing editor for two terms during her freshman spring and sophomore fall. Most recently, she was news managing editor during her sophomore spring and junior fall.
Proud is a history major and computer science minor from Louisville, Ky. He joined The Dartmouth during his freshman winter as an analyst for the business development team, before taking over as business development co-director in his sophomore spring alongside Stephanie Zoltick ’26.
Hampton said she hopes to continue the new writer training and speaker series initiatives launched by the 181st directorate. She also hopes to bring the local arts scene into “clearer focus” and expand the role The Dartmouth plays as an independent newspaper in the Upper Valley.
“With the death of local news and the lack of local publications across the country, I think it’s really important that college newspapers fill the void and act as a local voice,” Hampton said. “The predominance of large media conglomerates is very dangerous to democracy, and I see that The Dartmouth has a role as an independent newspaper to serve its local community.”
On the business side, Proud said one of his main goals is to diversify The Dartmouth’s revenue streams.
“We have constant year-over-year turnover, so it’s hard to have consistent stable revenue streams we know will come back year-over-year,” he explained. “I want to work on creating a system where we have more of a plan and a clear road map for [the] new directorate.”
For both Hampton and Proud, success in their roles would mean leaving a lasting impact on future members of The Dartmouth. Hampton said she hopes to “stok[e] an enthusiasm for writing, recording [podcasts] and taking photographs."
