I worked at the Michigan Daily for five semesters, mainly as a beat writer for the Digital Culture beat under the Arts section, but also contributing to the Books beat and to various B-sides. I was also Beat Editor for a semester; in this page, you’ll be able to find the pieces that I wrote or co-wrote in my time at the Daily, as well as those I edited.
