Josiah Poynter, Editor-in-Chief
Josiah Poynter is a 21-year-old journalism major in his fifth semester at Fresno City College and his fourth in the Rampage. He was born and raised in Camarillo, CA (go PVCS Lions) but has lived in Chicago and now lives in Fresno.
Josiah previously held the positions of both the Entertainment and Sports Editor, Managing Editor, and is now the Editor-in-Chief. He loves journalism and has excelled at writing, even winning a writing contest in second grade against high school students. He has been a part of a newsroom since 2020 going all the way back to his high school in Downers Grove, IL with the award-winning Omega; his high school newsroom. Along with working his way up to EIC, Josiah has won four awards with the Rampage and one in high school all for journalism.
Moving forward into the future, Josiah knows journalism is calling. He takes pride in knowing his voice and his writing can shape the news landscape and be the voice for people for many years to come. He wants to take on bigger issues that affect local communities but is excited for what the future may have for him. Josiah also has a weird obsession with semicolons, which you can find in the majority of his articles.
When he’s not in the newsroom, Josiah is enjoying life. He takes one day at a time and prefers relaxing and going out with friends than anything else. Some of his hobbies include being a movie buff, nerding out about all things in the nerd-media landscape, watching and learning the ins and outs of sports, and constantly trying to convince his girlfriend he’s Batman.
