Noah Pasley, News Editor

Noah Pasley is a senior journalism and media communication major with a minor in English. He is excited to continue his career with The Collegian and spend more time focused on reporting on social issues as well as reporting on breaking news in the Colorado State University and Fort Collins communities.

As news editor, Pasley is hoping to spend more time in the community following stories and uplifting student voices.

When he isn’t writing, he’s usually hunkered down with a video game and a good playlist.

As a senior, Pasley is very excited to get underway with the rest of his college experience. He is most interested in learning more about the world of film and video, which he also explores daily as the Tuesday night entertainment anchor over at CTV 11.

Noah Pasley can be reached at news@collegian.com or on Twitter @PasleyNoah.
