Alex Salerno - Digital Editor-in-Chief

Alex Salerno, Digital Editor-in-Chief, Print Sports Editor

Welcome to the Website of the 2022-2023 Viking Saga! I am Alex Salerno, the Web Editor-in-Chief and the Print Sports editor for the Viking Saga this year. I will make sure both of the platforms I am running and working on will be done to the best of my ability. For the web, we, as a team will incorporate a mix of content. This includes videos, photo galleries, podcasts, articles and much more. As the sports editor, my goal is to have reader friendly content in the section and also try to add many different sports in my section. Especially the sports that aren’t always in the limelight. Let’s have a great year EL!!

With total humility and respect,

Alex Salerno
