The Dial recently appointed its new editorial staff for the upcoming school year, led by Editors-in-Chief juniors Benjy Renton and Roya Wolfe and Online Editor junior Joy Dracos. The new editors are excited to implement planned improvements, including more frequent output, a monthly game page, and enhanced communication among staff members. Benjy, Roya, and Joy have been on The Dial’s staff for two years, serving as staff writers in their sophomore year, and page editors in their junior year.

Benjy and Roya want to increase collaboration among the members of The Dial’s staff. “We want to be able to have a lot more communication [among staff members] and consistency in what we produce, and [also] vary up our content,” said Benjy.

With regard to the website, Joy praised Benjy’s excellent work on boosting The Dial’s online presence this year. “I think Benjy has done a really good job of bringing the website up in terms of quality. For social media, I want to get the student body more involved this year,” she said.

The Dial staff also wants to expand its audience beyond the Upper School, to Middle School students and other members of the Hackley community, according to Roya.

Benjy, Roya, Joy, and the rest of the new staff are all excited about their roles on The Dial and the improvements they can bring to the paper. “I’m looking forward to working with this incredible new staff, because I think everyone on our team is extremely talented, and they each have something unique and special to offer to the success of The Dial. I’m also looking forward to meeting the new staff writers next year,” said Roya.
