Chiifen joined the Yorker in October 2009 to write for the news section. She became News Features Coordinator later that year and Deputy Politics Editor in January 2010. She became Politics Editor in April. In chilly October 2010, after returning from a proper summer in Malaysia, she was elected Editor of the Yorker. Chiifen is a second year Psychology student, and contrary to popular belief is not crazy, except when it comes to the Yorker of course. She loves to volunteer and sings to old people every other week. Apart from that her time is spent on her very serious TV series addiction.

Richard Mitchell is a non-operational director of The Yorker and helps guide the company's long-term strategy in the achievement of its aims and objectives. Having been a student at York since 2004 as both an undergraduate and postgraduate, his experience both in industry at Airbus UK and of the university and its unions are invaluable to The Yorker. He is very proud of the strong tradition of student media at York and believes that it is key to furthering democracy and accountability in the unions. Mitch is into politics, cycling, music and power kites as well as a casual interest in damn near everything. York is his Rushmore.

She lives in Tahiti, where the average temperatures are 24 to 30C all year. We are all extremely jealous.
