Cedars/ONA - Some more work from this summer

On Feb. 6, four Cedars' staff members and our adviser will attend the Ohio Newspaper Association's annual convention.

I had the great opportunity to intern at the ONA this past summer as a publications/public relations intern. I've posted some of my work from the experience on here before. But here's a few more notable stories/projects I did in my two months working in Columbus. 

• Live-tweeting just part of the job for sports reporters at Gannett-owned Ohio newspaper network - along with an accompanying Storify
• Ohio newspapers marketing to young professionals through partnerships, campaigns
• Ohio newspaper execs say no Saturday mail delivery would worsen already poor system and hurt circulation
• Two weather photography Storifys: How to Photograph a Front-Page Worthy Storm Photo and Lightning Photography: A Case Study

Cedars - November and December issues

November
For our November 2013 print issue, our cover story (written and reported by assistant managing editor Lauren Eissler) was a conference Cedarville hosted on America's casual sex culture.

In addition to my managing editor duties, I wrote two pieces for that issue. Read them online at the links below.

• What's All the Buzz About: A new student is playing the Yellow Jacket mascot, but its traditions live on
• Column – A Major Change: A Major Change?

December

December saw us covering Cedarville's new swim club. The issue was also special for a few reasons.

• We launched a redesigned table of contents page as well as a corresponding, all-new digital page, with content from our digital products. See them for yourself.
• We upped the page count from the usual 20 to 24 so that our off-campus news editor could cover Cedarville alumni affected by tornadoes in Central Illinois. I also wrote a column on how the tornadoes affected by own hometown of Washington, Ill.
