Lola Kadas joined Harbingers’ Magazine in the summer of 2024 as a contributor during the Oxford pop-up newsroom. After completing the newsroom and writing course, she became a staff writer later that autumn, covering society and public affairs.

Her strong writing and dedication to the magazine led to her appointment as Society Section Editor in 2025. During this time, she also reported from Bali, Indonesia, where she worked on a special project exploring the local mental health landscape and produced a series of thought-provoking articles.

Following a successful year in that role, and in recognition of her steady development and commitment, Lola stepped into the role of Editor-in-Chief in 2026, sharing the position with Arnav Maheshwari.

This will mark the first time the magazine is led by joint Editors-in-Chief, reflecting the growing scope and ambition of the publication. In her new role, Lola will also introduce a fact-checking system to further strengthen the magazine’s editorial standards.

Born in 2009, Lola has lived in both Budapest, Hungary, and California, United States. She is interested in music, pop culture, politics and mental health. She speaks English, Hungarian, French and Spanish.

In her free time, she enjoys going to concerts and creating studio art, and is a fan of Taylor Swift’s music.
