Journalist with no fear of the Internet
Las Vegas, Nevada Area
I have experience with reporting, editing and photojournalism in newspapers and magazines. I also have experience writing online content and building Web pages. I have a blog and I'm familiar with most of the Web 2.0 sites (Twitter, YouTube, StumbleUpon, etc.). I'm also familiar with Web site promotion and can drive traffic.
I was the editor in chief of a couple of publications in college, and I have experience managing people and meeting print deadlines.
My goal is to eventually become a watchdog-type journalist for a newspaper or Web site with a large circulation. Any kind of journalism with truth and actual impact is attractive to me.
