Editor Michael McCrary is seeking degrees in Journalism and Divinity. Leigh McCrary, a Visual Communication student and Mike's helpmate, serves as the Design Editor and Photography Editor. The mission of the paper is to report news from a Christian perspective. We want the students to be Christians first and journalists second. The faculty advisor for Hampton Roads Christian is Dr. Douglas Tarpley, a professor in Regent's School of Journalism.
Publications do go through cycles.
The focus for last year's editor, Sheila Dorn, was to get more student involvement. When my time ended, I was ready to go on to the next thing God had for me, but I feel good about the last year. Several of last year's staff have moved into leadership positions this year. Several changes are underway for Hampton Roads Christian this year. As with all publications, Hampton Roads Christian wants to increase its readership, especially among Regent students.
