ALPINE - With fall semester gone and a new year upon us, the Skyline has said goodbye to many important staff members, including Editor Eliya Alvidrez and Cartoonist Alyn Covington. Despite the loss, we are excited to announce Viviana Sanchez, who has been on staff since January 2020, will be taking on the position of desk-chief, while Maya Tinajero will assume the position of editor.  

Sanchez has worked as desk-chief in the past and her clear ideas and quick thinking are bound to bring significant content to the paper this semester. While studying to receive her master’s in business administration, Sanchez says her goals for the Skyline are “to continue its growth into one of the preeminent publications in Alpine and Brewster County.” 

Tinajero, currently a sophomore, has been with the paper since September 2024 and has moved up from journalist to desk-chief, to current editor. While working to receive her bachelors in natural resource management, Tinajero says, “Writing has always been a longtime passion of mine and so I am grateful for the platform I have been entrusted with.”
