Channing Turner’s Summary
My two main professional goals are to gain experience at a news or journalistic organization and pursuing higher education. I love reporting and working from the field, and would relish any position that includes creating content, be it text, video or online interactive. While I hope to gather some real-world experience first, I also plan to continue my education in law or graduate school.
I have experience working for The Arizona Republic, State Press and The Washigton Post in positions from breaking news reporter to web editor.
