Senior Donovan Schubert joined The Cardinal Times this year as a reporter after having taken Intro to Mass Communications his freshman year. He has contributed in many ways, specifically through his different articles and creative projects. Schubert has also written several opinion pieces, including a review of Drake’s latest album and made a podcast about the college application process.

“The stories that I like to write are about any topics that interest me,” said Schubert. “In the beginning of the year, I liked making a podcast about college and just relevant things going on in my life.”

Schubert said his favorite piece he created this year was the Drake album review, which he co-wrote with reporter Siri Lindsey.

“I think the album review was a fun one to write, and it went well,” Schubert said. “It’s nice to write about your interests because it brings a different perspective to the paper.”

Schubert found being on the paper fun.

“I have enjoyed the community of The Cardinal Times because I think it’s a funny class, everyone is super friendly and it’s fun to get to know everyone,” Schubert said. “The people that I’m friends with in class are people I was friends with before, but it’s nice to spend more time with them.”

Schubert thinks he’s grown a lot since freshman year.

“I think I’ve changed a lot as a person; I think everyone becomes more of their own individual throughout time.”
