The Advance-Titan
I have been writing for the Advance-Titan newspaper since February 2010. I started as a reporter, writing weekly stories. In September of 2010, I was promoted to be the assistant news editor. In this position, I created page "A2", which includes the "Busted" section and jumped stories. For the "Busted" section, I went to the University Police Department to copy down the police reports of things that happened during the week on campus. I then re-write the details into a short summary to publish using InDesign. I also continued to write articles as needed, and help edit the news stories using the AP Style guide.
In addition to these duties, I also created the front rail for page "A1". This included finding a "weird news story" and re-writing a summary, creating a list of campus events for the week, finding an interesting quote of the week, writing the details of the campus sports "game of the week" and writing a refer to the "B Section of the newspaper", which includes arts and entertainment, book and movie reviews and other feature stories.
In the spring semester of 2011, I decided to resign as the assistant news editor due to my growing course work-load. However, I still continue to write for the Advance-Titan newspaper as a reporter.
