As of Oct. 5, Emily Barber will replace Adam Orfinger as editor-in-chief of The Daily Gamecock. Orfinger has the support of the staff in his decision to step down and leaves the organization on good terms.
“This is the right time for a change. I’m very confident in Emily’s ability to lead this staff,” Orfinger said. “I’m very proud of what I’ve accomplished at The Daily Gamecock, and I hope to see it continue to flourish going forward.”
Barber was editor-in-chief in summer 2016 and a news editor in spring 2016. This semester, she served as a managing editor before her appointment to editor-in-chief.
