New Opinion Editor shares vision for spring 2026

BY KARLOS CORIA, OPINION EDITOR

Hello Fourth Estate Readers, 

My name is Karlos Coria, and I am the Opinion Editor for the spring 2026 semester! I am a graduate student pursuing my master’s in Secondary Education. I recently graduated with my bachelor’s in English with a minor in Journalism. 

While journalism is not my intended career path, I have always held the profession in high regard. Its foundational principles of free speech and expression are principles I hope to model and uphold in my future classroom. 

This semester, I hope to amplify the voices of our campus community. No one can deny that the news headlines this academic year have been thought provoking, if nothing else. That’s exactly why we want to hear from you. Share your thoughts! Voice your opinions. 

The opinion section of a newspaper is the place where healthy debate, differing perspectives and unique experiences are meant to be shared. I hope you will partner with me in helping make this semester’s opinion section one to remember. 

I look forward to hearing your voices. 

Sincerely, 

Karlos Coria, Opinion Editor
