Emerald names 2002-03 editor in chief
■ Michael J. Kleckner brings
two years of experience
at the Emerald and several
internships to the position
By Robin Weber
Oregon Daily Emerald
Oregon Daily Emerald board
members named Michael J. Kleckn
er the 2002-03 editor in chief
Tuesday evening.
Kleckner takes over this summer
for 2001-02 editor-in-chief Jessica
Blanchard, who is graduating in
June. Kleckner approaches the po
sition with enthusiasm.
“As an out gay man, I am proud
to take the reins of the Emerald. It
has a long tradition of excellent
journalism, and I intend to uphold
that,” he said.
The selection process, though
rapid, is intense. Editor hopefuls
must fill out an application, com
plete a battery of written questions,
and provide writing samples,
grades, letters of recommendation
and a resume — the more experi
ence, the better.
Candidates must also make pre
sentations to the current Emerald
staff and meet with heads of the
newsroom, production and adver
tising departments.
The candidates’ entire packet,
minus transcripts, is open to the
staff to review.
From there, applicants have a
chance to sit on the other side of
the desk and be interviewed by
the board.
Then, it’s decision time. The
moment of truth is not always
easily reached.
“We had a very spirited debate,”
Emerald Board of Directors Chair
man Chris Frisella said. “In the end,
we felt that Mike brings a broader
range of talents and a lot of depth to
the job.”
Kleckner is a senior who is triple
majoring in philosophy and the
news-editorial and magazine se
quences within the School of Jour
nalism and Communication. He
brings to the job two years of experi
ence at the Emerald as a copy chief,
managing editor, editorial editor
and copy editor.
Leading the Emerald
Michael J.KIecfcner
Year: Fifth-year senior
Majors: Journalism news/editorial, journalism
magazine, philosophy
Current position: Emerald copy chief
Goals: “l expect to work with, not against the
University administration, student groups, and
public agencies to tell the relevant, intriguing
stories about the events and actions in the
campus community.”
Outside the office, Kleckner also
has worked for restaurants in Lane
County. A Eugenean since high
school, he spread his wings with in
ternships at The Oregonian in Port
land, the Deseret News in Salt Lake
City, Utah, and the University’s
Flux magazine.
Knowing the ins and outs of the
different areas of the communica
tions field is one of his biggest assets.
“He has lots of experience in
many areas of journalism,” Emerald
General Manager Judy Riedl said.
“He has a lot of ideas to make the pa
per appealing to readers.”
Kleckner is already making plans
for the future.
“I expect to work with, not
against, the University administra
tion, student groups and public
agencies to tell relevant, intriguing
stories about the events and actions
in the campus community,” he said.
