Graduating senior Max Decker has spent the last three years as a member of The Cardinal Times. Starting his career off in Mass Communications his sophomore year, Decker spent his time learning about the different components of journalism, from articles to photojournalism. In his junior year, he became the podcast editor and during his senior year, he was named a managing digital editor.
Decker said he hoped to create the best website and social media possible.
“I really think the digital team over the last few years has been non-stop working to modernize the paper and keep up with where people are getting the … news, such as social media platforms,” said Decker.
Decker participated in many other activities during his time at Lincoln. He traveled to Washington D.C. for a leadership trip through Word is Bond, a local non-profit where he is a board member. Decker is also the co-president of Brothers of Color at Lincoln.
Decker said The Cardinal Times was one of his favorite and most meaningful memories.
“The paper was a super important part of my time here, because of the unique stories I got to hear and tell,” said Decker.
Decker will be attending Tulane University in New Orleans, where he hopes to eventually study business or law.
“I’m really excited to go to college, and I know that even though I’m not studying journalism, I’m definitely going to be using all of the skills I’ve learned over the years on the paper in college,” said Decker.
