Elijah Le Blanc, Editor
Eli is a senior NW2 reporter/editor, and plays guitar and bass. Eli often dives deep into human interest articles, having a deep passion for the stories that each and every human being has to offer. Whether it’s editorial articles about corrupt politicians, getting peoples’ hot takes on controversial topics, or even just recording someone’s story and their message, Eli’s philosophy is that everyone deserves a chance to have their voice be heard. An avid fan of 2000s era deathcore, bands like Carnifex, Suicide Silence, and Impending Doom are only a few of Eli’s favorites. If Eli isn’t at school or work, they’re probably at home, just doom scrolling or recording music. If you’re lucky, you can find them at local shows, or out spending way too much money on Taco Bell and Monster Energy.
