About the Contributors

Bailey Brantingham, Managing editor

Hey y'all! I'm Bailey, the managing editor for Sidelines this semester. I'm the biggest consumer of media you'll ever meet — on top of watching at least three new movies a week, I'm a big fan of listening to great music and writing about it. When I'm not doing this, I'm almost always sat behind a computer screen playing either Minecraft or Stardew Valley, or, on occasion, nose-deep in a good fantasy book.

Noah McLane, Lead news reporter

I'm a senior at MTSU’s School of Journalism, and this will be my second semester as the lead news reporter for Sidelines. I work for the First Amendment Encyclopedia through the Free Speech Center at MTSU and the John Seigenthaler Chair of Excellence in First Amendment Studies. In addition to covering issues like Forrest Hall and free speech on campus for Sidelines, I produced content for the Paris Post-Intelligencer, the First Amendment Encyclopedia, Sidelines Magazine and WMOT.
