A Desire For Satire

Julia Little, Reporter • November 17, 2023

Carson Paul

During the April Fools issue of 2022 for The Wolfpacket, reporter turned editor Carson Paul realized his true calling: a desire for satire. This was a monumental moment for Paul, a young lost sophomore. Paul claims none of the editors liked him, so he decided to utilize this opportunity and create his very own section: the Satire Section. A section where journalistic rules do not apply. Unlike other sections, it created the freedom for reporters to be funny, share opinions, and use the “forbidden” first-person in their articles. Paul’s rebellion shall be remembered in the history books of the Wolfpacket and forever in our hearts. Paul is the only satire editor. Before there was Paul, there was no light, no joy in the Wolfpacket, only unfunny, serious, unsatirical, hard-hitting, and fact-based articles. With his own creative freedom, Paul has explored different endeavors within his section from “real” relationship advice to the one-hit-wonder, “It’s Wolfpacket Bro.”
