music.
Camille, in her own words, is a human radio.
“I absolutely love music,” Cantrell said. “Radio is an influential medium that allows people to define their individuality, yet relate to others around them.”
“Rebel Radio is not just a job for me,” Cantrell said. “It has allowed me to be a part of the Student Media Center and become part of the university rather than becoming just a student.”
Cantrell sees 92.1 becoming a unifying, relatable media outlet for everyone on campus and in the area.
She has had these high hopes since began as a deejay her freshman year.

experience.
Ole Miss was natural choice for Miriam.
“I began as a biochemistry major at Ole Miss and did relatively well in my classes, but I thought I was missing out on something greater,” Cresswell, a convert to news, said. “Journalism is something I truly love.”
“It’s exciting to be in a position where I can give back to the university that has been a part of my family for so long,” Cresswell said. “Broadcasting lets into people’s living rooms every night to tell them what’s going on in the world, whether they are students, alumni, or just residents of the Oxford-Lafayette community.”
“I want to be able to look back and have people remember my time at Newswatch,” Cresswell said.
Cresswell will serve as news director in the fall.

people.
Adam is a people person.
“I love the DM because I love the people,” Ganucheau said.
“People always ask me why I love my work,” Ganucheau, a news writer who previously interned by Jackson’s Northside Sun and the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, said.
Ganucheau hopes to continue building an informed public through his work at the DM.
“I’ve worked for the DM since I was a freshman,” Ganucheau said. “News struck my interest from the beginning, and I want to be a part of communicating with students, faculty, and the Oxford community.”
“I love journalism because of its power to inform and inspire change,” Ganucheau said. “It’s something I don’t take lightly.”

unity.
Ben lives for good design.
He also lives for the successful unification of an extensively diverse student body, a task he intends to accomplish within the hard-bound pages of The Ole Miss.
Hurston first experienced the world of journalism as a high school student working in his school’s paper.
“I was the editor of my annual in high school and came here knowing that I wanted to pursue a career in journalism,” Hurston said.
Hurston writes as well as curates.
“It all comes back to storytelling,” Hurston said. “I’m excited to use my gifts to translate the story of Ole Miss into one that a large audience can become a part of.”

passion.
John has been a news junkie for his entire life.
“I was born into the Today Show dream team era – Matt, Katie, Al, and Ann, and I really took news for granted until I got to school,” Monteith said.
“I changed my major to journalism January of my freshman year and began working at Newswatch my sophomore year,” Monteith said. “I started as a weather anchor and have worked my way up.”
Monteith feels that his work in journalism is a public service.
“I love television because people form relationships with their stations and anchors,” Monteith said. “I want to continue winning awards and building the legacy.”
“I want to put Newswatch on the map for the University.”
