![]() My email is or stop by the office.Įd Boice is the new Editor of the Abilene Reflector-Chronicle. If you consider yourself a good writer or know of something great happening locally you would like to share, I'll be happy to talk with anyone that's interested. Speaking of shrinking journalism, we always need writers. I've enjoyed working in this town, and I'm grateful for how the town in general has accepted me. Now with my thoughts out of the way, I'm looking forward to being the editor for Abilene's newspaper and am optimistic about my start. And to me, that's what matters to me for my career mostly. Developing relationships with the people here, sitting down with someone to pick their brain on certain topics, chasing down information for an important story (the story about a petition against a bar was an adrenaline rush), finding new stories and figuring out how to effectively communicate it I just enjoy what I do. To be honest, I love what I've been doing here in Abilene so far. Regardless, I'm prepared to take on this challenge and have spent the time I need to start off on the right foot. Me becoming editor is how this newspaper is moving forward, despite how I or anyone else feels or thinks. And so, with Lydia moving on the next stage in her life, I was chosen to be next because our staff is small.

Now, some of you may be thinking, "what's this guy doing as editor of a newspaper? He's young enough to be my son." You're probably correct. I hope to bring more positive changes to the newspaper, but those two aspects are what I know for now. I myself (barring some major life-changing event or becoming a meth addict) anticipate working with this paper for several years to come. I hope to be one person to end that trend. From what I understand, the paper's staff has been a bit inconsistent for the past couple of years. Secondly, I want to be a stable position of leadership for this newspaper. ![]() With the temporary addition of Gail Parsons and Kathy Hageman and Lydia continuing to design the layout of the physical paper, I should have the time to edit stories efficiently. To start off, I'm aiming to increase the amount of editing time dedicated to each story. Let's start off with what I'm bringing to the table. ![]() While preparing for my new role the past few weeks, I've had a lot of thoughts and emotions on taking this position that I thought I'd share with y'all. Lydia Kautz, our now former editor, is leaving for Nebraska for a position to further her career. “The fact that she made a funny, entertaining feminist critique and broke so many box office records with a movie about a doll that has been such a lightning rod in our culture is a monumental feat that should not be underestimated.I am now the editor for the Reflector-Chronicle. “Greta Gerwig’s ‘Barbie’ accomplished something so profound,” Melissa Silverstein, the founder of the blog Women and Hollywood and the artistic director of the Athena Film Festival, wrote in an email Monday.
