Julia Roeder '25, Print Editor in Chief
Julia Roeder ’25 is an avid concertgoer, music lover and reader. Throughout her life, she has been influenced by her father’s love for music and attended upwards of 20 concerts, with many more to come. Roeder also plays the guitar and enjoys reading. But outside of those interests, she is a talented journalist. Roeder is a third-year staffer and has been involved with South journalism since her freshman year; through her dedication and perseverance, she has climbed the ranks in Tower. She is now starting her senior year as Co Print Editor-In-Chief. Even outside of school, she continues her devotion to journalism. She recently attended the Al Neuharth Free Spirit and Journalism Conference and had multiple bylines published in the Detroit Free Press last summer during her apprenticeship.
"I think journalism is important because it holds people accountable," Roeder said. "It makes sure people know that (others) are watching what they're doing, and it is important the decisions they're making."
Because of this belief, it is no surprise that she reports on the school board's every move to keep students informed. She cares about the student body and Tower.
"Something [the other print Editor-In-Chief Charlotte Glasser] and I are really working on this year is trying to get the Tower as one, trying to bring us all together, work our hardest and that's the goal," Roeder said.
