Isabella Young Mee Choe wreaks havoc at the DHS Telegram

Seen here yelling at her inferiors.

The DHS Telegram strives to function as a professional publication, with a power structure conventional of such an organization. A section editor’s decisions can be overruled by a copy editor. What happens, though, when the natural order is upset?

Former section editor of the now-defunct Arts and Entertainment section, Choe was desperate for power when the new semester began. Rumors, the origins of which are impossible to pinpoint, suggest that she is overcompensating for a dark secret in her past. Regardless of the cause, by the end of January she had sliced out a corner of the ruling class for herself. “Other Stuff,” notably the section which replaced Isabella’s A&E, took her on as a co-editor. Her primary duty is to look over articles before publishing, rather than managing writers within the section. Unfortunately, this was nowhere near enough to satiate her.

On February 3rd, Isabella Young Mee Choe became openly hostile. One of the Telegram’s copy editors, who wishes to remain unnamed, reports that she was found editing a finished article not of the Other Stuff section for typographical errors. The copy editor in question requested politely that she find a task more suited to her credentials, but Choe declined. Fortunately, they were able to convince her not to publish the article when she finished.

Will Isabella Young Mee Choe’s next victim be so lucky? We can only hope she finds a more production outlet before it’s too late for the DHS Telegram.
