Whitney Rhodes’s Summary

I graduated from George Mason University with a BA in communications (focus in journalism). Last year, I served as online managing editor for Mason's traditional print publication, Broadside. Frustrated by the lack of focus the print newsroom gave to their online publication, I worked with Student Media to create a new daily news/convergence website called Connect Mason. The site offers breaking news, multimedia packages and user-generated content for the Mason community. It is used as a convergence model for GMU's Student Media groups - featuring content from Broadside, WGMU, Mason Cable Network and others. Check it out at Connect2Mason.com. It won a 2008 Associate Collegiate Press Pacemaker Award and is a finalist for the same reward this year.

Currently I'm the Assistant New Media Editor for the Courier-Post.
