Being a real reporter

January 4, 2012

Tonight was my first assignment as a paid stringer for a local paper. A parent of one of my high school friend works for the Leader Vindicator and asked if I’d like to do some coverage reporting while I was on break. I sent in some  samples and a resume. My first assignment? Borough Authority … More Being a real reporter

Page One: Inside the New York Times

December 15, 2011

Is the newspaper dying?  The question is debated by every editor, writer and journalism student. I know my college paper is always having that very conversation. Sure, with the advent of online media and the rise of citizen journalism, the business model of print newspapers is becoming outdated. The most well known newspaper, The New York … More Page One: Inside the New York Times

Free speech matters to me

December 10, 2011

When I was growing up, I was raised in a pretty conservative household. There were certain movies and music I wasn’t allowed to listen to. Books, however, were almost always fair game. I only remember two instances of book censorship in my young life. One was, quite predictably, Harry Potter. It had WITCHCRAFT! In the end, … More Free speech matters to me

I’m Editor-in-Chief… now what?

December 7, 2011

So I’m officially the Editor-in-Chief of my school’s newspaper the Setonian. As a second semester sophomore, I am younger than the average EIC here, and I have big shoes to fill. My predecessor, Jessie Krehlik, completely revolutionized our print layout and boosted our online presence immensely. So, I’ve got to keep the momentum going and … More I’m Editor-in-Chief… now what?

News Writing Final Project

December 7, 2011

I created this two page layout for my News Writing Final. All of the stories are from the class (with the exception of the Occupy SHU story that I wrote originally for the Setonian). I decided to try to be a little more creative and visual than usual (the Setonian does not print in color). … More News Writing Final Project

C is for Confidence

November 28, 2011

In the ABC’s of being a writer, C would have to be Confidence. I know it sounds a little cheesy, but you can’t write well if you don’t think you can. Many writing related careers are competitive and the people who do well are the ones who know and understand their skill set. I’d don’t … More C is for Confidence

Rules vs. Passion in the English World

November 15, 2011

At my writing center job and in my personal life, I’ve been exploring the dichotomy between the rules of English and the passion that goes into strong content. Grammar and rules are obviously important. I’m one of those people who gets disgusted if they find too many errors in something I’m reading. I like my … More Rules vs. Passion in the English World

I’m a Writing Consultant… Now what?

November 15, 2011

So I’ve been working at the Seton Hill University(SHU) writing center for almost a whole semester, and I’ve been learning so much about the way I write and the the way I help others with their writing. I’ve always been the kid who people asked to read their essays. The way I’ve been trained to … More I’m a Writing Consultant… Now what?
