Elle Davies

Hey, I’m Elle Davies. I joined the newspaper because I really enjoy consuming all kinds of media. Any type of art fascinates me. Whether that's films, paintings, music, photos, the ballet, theatre productions or any type of human created art. That is why I thought the culture department would be absolutely perfect! I have also been described as ‘bossy’ literally my whole life so I imagine that being the head of the department is probably a good idea for me. I have always wanted to be a teacher. My idea changed from a primary school teacher to a secondary one and now I would like to lecture about English literature at a university! 

I am more than happy to answer any questions about the culture department! My contact info is ka22edavies@edubuzz.org

Delilah Brady

Hello, my name is Delilah Brady. I write for the culture section of the newspaper as well as other talented writers, my main interests are Art which I do a lot in my spare time and I'm really into a lot of films, TV shows and books! I joined the Knox news because I'd really like to work and improve on my journalistic writing instead of writing my opinions and fiction. I aspire to do something creative and travel around the world!!

Aubin Motion

Hello! My name is Aubin Motion! I work in the culture department of the newspaper! I wanted to join the club because I enjoy writing and have always wanted to write for some sort of newspaper. There are many things I would like to do in the future. I am quite focussed on expanding my music knowledge and learning to play new instruments. I spend a lot of time writing short fiction stories and playing darts!

Ellie McKenzie

Hello, I’m Ellie, a writer for the Culture section of the paper. As someone who has always had a love for both reading and writing books, the Knox newspaper is an amazing opportunity to explore my interests alongside others with the same motivation! Everyone on the team works really well together, and we’ve formed a welcoming, supportive community. In the future, I would love to study at Edinburgh University, then go on to work in the performing arts, or become an interior designer in the South of France. 

Karis Hutchison

Hi, my name is Karis and I’m a member of the Knox News Culture Department! I enjoy reading, watching movies and listening to music, and when I’m older I would like to study either Psychology or Journalism at University. I wanted to join Knox Newspaper to get experience of what it's like to work in journalism, and find out if it's something I want to do as a career in the future. My email is: ka22khutchison@edubuzz.org if you want to ask me any questions.

Lucy Stott

Hey! I’m Lucy (S5), I work as the manager of the Beat Department. I was inspired to join the Knox newspaper due to my lifelong love reading and writing. I have always been interested in writing stories and articles discussing relevant real world issues. Additionally, I also enjoy both drawing and baking! I joined the newspaper team to get some applicable experience writing for a published work. In the future, I would love to study history and sociology in uni. It is an honour to write for such a wonderful project and I am very excited for the future! 

If you want to contact me, my email is: ka21lstott@edubuzz.org. I would love to hear from you!

Ugne Vicyte

Hey! I’m Ugne, a senior member of the Beat Department. What inspired me to join the newspaper was my dedication to sharing people's voices and making sure that they are heard. That’s why I specifically joined the Beat Department, as I can express my own and others' opinions on certain topics ranging from science to politics. Furthermore, I can inform people about what's happening around them. In the future, I would like to go to university to study economics and politics.  

Feel free to contact me at ka22uvicyte@edubuzz.org 

Isaac Swan-Ashe

Hey, I'm Isaac, a senior in the Beat department. If I'm not writing something, arguing with someone (playfully, obviously), then I'll be in the kitchen, baking, cooking or doing who knows what. I’ve also recently taken a liking to philosophy, so if there’s a deep question that’s bothering you, then I'm the person to talk to. I decided to apply for a position in the beat department because I just love to talk. Ask me anything and we’ll be enthralled in conversation for the next hour. So I thought that my qualities would be best applied to a role in which I could talk, or in this instance, write my heart out. I’m not sure exactly what I'll do after school is all done, but it’ll definitely be something along the lines of thinking-and-talking-and-doing-lots-of-things. Maybe philosophy, maybe politics, maybe even physics. But only time will tell.

If you have any queries please contact me at ka22iswanashe@edubuzz.org.

Lottie Murphy

Hi, my name is Lottie, I’m a junior photographer, and I love photography. I got my first camera when I was ten and have been obsessed ever since. I love taking photos of many things, like nature and light, but my favourite thing is to take photos of my friends because it’s a great way to keep the memories forever.I don’t know what I'm going to do in the future yet, but I know I want to go to university because I think that university is a great way to set you up for future employment.

Corin Togher

Hey, I’m Corin and I’m one of the cartoonists that will be working on the comic strip for the newspaper. I’m super interested in all things art, books, and movies (especially horror movies), and I wanted to join the newspaper to get some experience making art with other people in a slightly more professional setting. Art is my passion and I hope to study it in college or university once I leave school, and I’ve even considered writing my own graphic novel at some point in the future.

Lexi Young

Hi everyone, my name is Lexi and I am a cartoonist for Knox News. I joined Knox News as my friend convinced me that it would be fun and had a role for artists. In the future I aspire to be either a character designer or animator, and I believe that joining Knox News as a cartoonist can help me reach that goal.
