Madeline Manning, Editor-in-Chief

Madeline Manning is a Senior at Inspire and the Founder, Editor-In-Chief and Graphic Designer for Purple Pages' online and print editions. They started Purple Pages after being inspired by their local News and Review, the CN&R. Their favorite publications are the Chico News & Review, The New Yorker, and NPR. They are a humanities major, and their favorite thing about Inspire is all of the opportunity they allow students to make for themselves. Julian's favorite thing to write is investigative pieces, as well as editorials. Their favorite club moment is when they shoveled snow from up the mountain and brought it to school to celebrate the launch of our SNO site. Outside of Purple Pages, they are the Editor-In-Chief of the Yearbook, and they spend their free time cooking and baking.
