Juniors Tobias Hoonhout, Elizabeth Greason, Lucas Masin-Moyer and Claire Radler will help oversee The Observer’s Editorial Board next year, incoming Editor-in-Chief Courtney Becker announced Thursday.
Hoonhout will take on the Managing Editor position, while Greason, Masin-Moyer and Radler will all serve as Assistant Managing Editors.
Hoonhout is a double major in the Program of Liberal Studies and economics with a minor in constitutional studies, and he has spent the past year serving as Associate Sports Editor. Originally from Smithtown, New York, Hoonhout lives in Knott Hall on campus and has spent his time with The Observer covering a number of Notre Dame sports, including football, hockey and women’s lacrosse.
“It’s truly an honor to be named Managing Editor,” Hoonhout said. “I’m excited for the year ahead and hope to tackle new challenges head-on while maintaining the level of excellence we here at The Observer strive for.”
Greason, a junior living in McGlinn Hall, is finishing her term as Sports Editor. The New York City native is pursuing a major in civil engineering. During her time with The Observer, Greason has covered a wide variety of Notre Dame sports teams, including football, women’s basketball and volleyball.
“The Observer plays such an important role in serving the Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s communities, so I am very grateful to have the opportunity to take on an increased leadership role,” Greason said. “I’m sure we will face challenges this year, but I am confident that this is a fantastic team and that we are equipped to handle everything thrown at us.”
Masin-Moyer is a junior in Morrissey Manor who hails from Telford, Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia, and is majoring in political science and American studies. He has most recently served as Associate News Editor, during which time he covered Vice President Mike Pence’s selection as the 2017 Commencement speaker and the subsequent response, political activism, speakers on campus and student government elections.
“I’m really looking forward to getting to work with such great people to help inform the campus community,” Masin-Moyer said. “Working with The Observer has been one of the great privileges of my college experience, and I cannot wait to see what the next year has in store.”
Radler, a junior from Winnetka, Illinois, lives in Flaherty Hall on campus. Majoring in political science and minoring in business economics as well as journalism, ethics and democracy, she previously served as Viewpoint Editor of The Observer during the 2016-2017 term. She just returned from a semester abroad in London.
“I am super excited to be taking on such a huge leadership role with The Observer,” Radler said. “We have a great team for the upcoming year, and I can’t wait to see what we accomplish.”
