And what did I … Continue reading Drug Deception
This past summer, I attended a convention filled with dozens of enthusiastic journalists and young writers who were eager to learn about what it takes to lead a college newsroom. Being one of those people, I prepared myself for a weekend of fast-talking social media gurus, old-fashioned print-obsessed professors, and possibly a couple of quirky students looking to “network.” The speaker of our first seminar … Continue reading What’s your headline?
