Newspaper Journalism
Dual Major in English
Throughout my four years at FAMU, I led the student newspaper, The Famuan, a perennial top-10 (often top-five) Hearst Foundation Prize winner, as news editor, copy desk chief, and managing editor. I spent summers reporting and editing for the Ocala Star-Banner, Philadelphia Inquirer, St. Pete Times (now Tampa Bay Times) and Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I also edited for the Tallahassee Democrat and its black counterpart, the Capital Outlook. I even did some state government reporting for the Gadsden County Times, a weekly in that area.
