I'm a sophomore journalism and international studies major. I was a sports writer for The Lantern for Fall '08 and Winter '09 and I am now the Arts and Entertainment editor (started Spring '09 and will continue until Winter '10). I love both fields and don't know where I'll end up yet! I have had an internship with Bleacher Report Inc., a sports news site. I worked as a photographer at Dodger Stadium in high school. And I will be interning this summer at NBC4 in Columbus. I am in Ohio for school but I lived the first 18 years of my life in Los Angeles and will be a Lakers and Dodgers fan until the day I die. I hope to return to L.A. after graduation and write for the L.A. Times.

In the last year, he notified the Associated Press that the paper would be dropping its service when its AP contract expired; helped form the Ohio News Organization, bringing together a team of rivals in an effort to sidestep reliance on AP copy; and oversaw the layoffs of 45 members of the editorial staff in what he called the worst day of his career.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many other papers are dropping AP, news organizations in several states are following OHNO's lead and forming cooperatives and, sadly, the Dispatch is hardly alone in reducing its staff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marrison will talk about the challenges facing news organizations and the outlook for the industry in his keynote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The chapter also will present college scholarships and its First Amendment, Brick Wall, Distinguished Service and Appreciation awards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ticket prices this year have been rolled back to $25 ($15 for students). Reservation deadline: midnight, April 23.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The evening starts at 6 p.m. with a cash bar and networking, followed by dinner and the program at 7 p.m. Join us for an evening of fellowship at the Fawcett Center, 2400 Olentangy River Rd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Register online at http://foundersday2009.eventbrite.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3907688003778452867-1312024753865923123?l=ohiostatespj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ohiostatespj.blogspot.com/feeds/1312024753865923123/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ohiostatespj.blogspot.com/2009/04/central-ohio-spj-founders-day-2009.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3907688003778452867/posts/default/1312024753865923123'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3907688003778452867/posts/default/1312024753865923123'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ohiostatespj.blogspot.com/2009/04/central-ohio-spj-founders-day-2009.html' title='Central Ohio SPJ Founders Day 2009'/><author><name>Society of Professional Journalists at Ohio State</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12691880717465969854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J_bYFY6aIOw/SZuKzJQTZJI/AAAAAAAAAAM/vGVml8SRtMU/S220/spj.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907688003778452867.post-3751513515861587322</id><published>2009-04-13T11:16:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-13T11:18:33.299-04:00</updated><title type='text'>April SPJ Meeting - 4/15</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The April SPJ meeting will be held Wednesday (4/15) at 7 p.m. in room 139 of the Journalism Building.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will host a panel of recent journalism graduates who are using their degrees to work in other fields.

It’s not too early to plan your next trip. Consider making it a vacation and professional development opportunity rolled into one amazing experience. We suggest the 2009 SPJ Convention and National Journalism Conference, August 27-30 in Indianapolis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Convention programming will focus on the key issues in today’s shifting media landscape, issues of critical importance to the next generation of journalists: students and young professionals.&lt;br /&gt;This year, like every year, the Convention will feature over 60 professional development sessions, a career development center, Journalism Expo and the national Mark of Excellence Awards luncheon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But unlike years past, this year SPJ will celebrate a truly landmark event – our 100th anniversary. Join students and professionals from all over the country as they reflect on SPJ’s history and explore the future of the largest and most broad-based journalism organization in the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best of all, you’ll have access to these amazing opportunities at an affordable price. Registration for students, post-graduates and campus advisers is only $135 – that’s $65 cheaper than an iPhone! But you’ll have to register before August 2 to get that early-bird price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, consider registering now – before the spring semester or quarter ends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Log on now to the Convention Web site to see all the opportunities that await you, like a chance to meets CBS News and “60 Minutes” foreign affairs correspondent Laura Logan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if you want to be a part of the behind-the-scenes coverage, don’t forget the April 17 deadline to apply for The Working Press, a daily tabloid newspaper that covers the Convention. It’s is a great way to earn real newspaper internship experience – plus your registration and lodging are paid. Get all the details here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hope to see you in Indianapolis!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3907688003778452867-2616477690888272619?l=ohiostatespj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ohiostatespj.blogspot.com/feeds/2616477690888272619/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ohiostatespj.blogspot.com/2009/04/2009-spj-convention.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3907688003778452867/posts/default/2616477690888272619'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3907688003778452867/posts/default/2616477690888272619'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ohiostatespj.blogspot.com/2009/04/2009-spj-convention.html' title='2009 SPJ Convention'/><author><name>Society of Professional Journalists at Ohio State</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12691880717465969854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J_bYFY6aIOw/SZuKzJQTZJI/AAAAAAAAAAM/vGVml8SRtMU/S220/spj.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907688003778452867.post-8668176946624003350</id><published>2009-03-10T11:27:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-10T11:27:40.656-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Spring Meetings</title><content type='html'>Our spring SPJ meetings will be:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday, April 15th&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday, May 19th&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Save the dates.
