UC’s student newspaper names Hajra Munir as new editor-in-chief
May 9, 2025
As a young girl, Hajra Munir, a second-year law and society major, had a passion for writing. “I was always writing,” Munir said. “Whether it was in a journal, writing stories or writing poetry.” But Munir wasn’t sure how she could use her writing skills beyond her love for it, until she watched her brother join the student newspaper at Walnut Hills High School and decided to join him. Since then, journalism has become an integral part of her life. “I started news writing, and I absolutely loved it,” Munir said. “I felt like I could be who I wanted to be, and I felt like this is what I want to do, this is what I love. Journalism has made me such a more confident person, and I wouldn’t be where I am without writing, without starting my love for journalism.” Now, going into her third year at UC, Munir will serve as The News Record’s (TNR) next editor-in-chief for the 2025-2026 school year. TNR is UC’s student run news organization, where students themselves have opportunities to report on an array of topics, from breaking campus news to entertainment and lifestyle.
