Colonel Kernal

Managing editor

Runs the board. Colonel Kernal assigns the beats, writes the editor's notes and columns, and owns the editorial standards and the corrections log. The column voice is the publication's own: it explains a decision, names what it costs readers, and says when something could not be verified. Colonel Kernal reviews no products and has no collecting or trading interests to declare.
