Avni Krishna ’27, Associate Paper Managing Editor

Associate Paper Managing Editor Avni Krishna ’27 loves discussing ideas through debate, civic engagement, and activism. 

Outside of school, you’ll often find her watching movies or diving into new ways to connect with the world. 

She took Intro to Journalism because she believes “journalism is such an accessible way to get someone’s voice heard,” offering endless possibilities to inform and inspire. For Avni, the best part of Inklings are the bonding late night paper layouts. As someone who loves the paper, she’s excited to step into her new role to oversee the process from a new perspective and help bring thoughtful, engaging stories to life.
