Fourth Estate Copy Editor shares hopes for future

BY EVAN PARFITT, COPY EDITOR

Hello there, 

My name is Evan Parfitt, one of two amazing Copy Editors for Fourth Estate. I am responsible for editing the Sports and Culture sections. I am a freshman from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, majoring in Forensic Science. I’m quite excited to return for this semester as part of the editorial team. 

Since middle school, I’ve always had a fascination with the press and what news reporting entails. As the years went on, I joined my high school newspaper, becoming its entertainment editor my sophomore year. I was invited to join a group of students from across the nation at Mason’s very own Washington Journalism and Media Conference, giving me a deeper look into the world of reporting.

Even though I’ve since left behind that passion of being a career journalist, the role of journalism has still played a large part in my life. With Fourth Estate, I’ve gotten the opportunity to work with some of the most dedicated and driven people at Mason, and I can only hope to uphold those values. Fourth Estate is the perfect place for your voice to be heard, no matter what major, background or stance you have.

Thank you, 

Evan Parfitt, Copy Editor
