While I began in journalism's opinion side, I've fallen in love with objectivity. It's far harder to dig up facts and present all sides than to simply present your own opinions, but it's ultimately more rewarding to seek the whole truth.
I want to bring some joy back to sports writings so people can get excited about a thrilling overtime game or relive an athlete's historic performance.
I love basketball and football, but I hate lame reality shows. I'm definitely not impress with the movies coming out of Hollywood.
My future is uncertain, but I know I want to make a difference with my writing.
People say the journalism industry is changing, but I will always contend that good storytellers have a place in society. I think they do now more than ever.
An interest in journalism that began through the lens of the fashion world continues through a passion and love for writing. After graduation in May, Sara hopes to continue to expand her knowledge in photography and HTML code. She loves to travel so she intends to work, and write, in many different places during her journalistic career.
I'm a relentless workaholic who fancies reading, writing and a good sparring session. My 168 hours in a given week are quickly consumed by books, reporting, grappling, exercising and just going out. I always give it my all when I report. I like covering news because it gives me the chance to meet unusual people and to have unusual experiences – topped off with an adrenaline rush!
My cheesy high school nickname, "Scoop," said it all. I was the guy with the goal to know a little about everything. I carried more steno notebooks than textbooks in my book bag. My friends had loose change for barbeque chips; I had loose Bic pens with ink stains on my pants to match.

A product of an unusual hometown trying to turn a grade school hobby into a profession. If what we do in school is practice for our careers, I've been practicing for my dream job since 1990.
It's an exciting time be a journalist. As the field evolves into a new age, there is plenty to learn and experience.
I've loved sports my entire life and look forward to pursuing a career following that which I'm passionate about. I love interesting and unusual stories that have to do with sports, as well as the type that can uplift and inspire.
Journalism gives me a chance to record history and the stories of the people involved. I want to be a part of history as it happens and leave something behind for future generations.
A true Southern girl with a passion for feature writing and telling stories of food, fashion and fun, I'm looking to expand my roots in the magazine world.
I got started with journalism because of sports, and I hope sports journalism is where I'll go next. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to cover different topics I haven't done while at The Carolina Reporter.
