I helped create content on a daily basis for Deadspin.com, one of the most visited sports blogs on the internet. Along with doing research or assisting with larger projects, I created the weekly feature "Bristolmetrics," a breakdown of what appears on the nightly ESPN show "SportsCenter." The feature has been covered in publications like Sports Illustrated.

I assisted in the editorial process at The Onion. This involved researching for writers working on an article, compiling news trends as to what might happen in the coming weeks, helping compile and select themed issues for when the writing staff was on vacation. I also helped copy edit "The Onion Book of Known Knowledge," an encyclopedia the publication.

TCU 360 is the new online home for all student-published media at Texas Christian University. I've helped write for the publication over the summer, and have covered the college baseball playoffs, updated stories that were written about in the spring, and also helped break news stories. When former TCU basketball head coach Neil Dougherty passed away in.

I'm the basic assignment editor for the school newspaper. I supervised over 30 reporters on a daily basis, and assigned each reporter a story for them to cover. In addition to assigning stories, I would help assist reporters in multiple ways. For example, I often assisted or gave advice if a reporter had trouble writing an article, they couldn't get a hold.

I've written over 30 articles for the Skiff ranging from hard news to feature, question and answer, and stories with multimedia components. I interviewed several prominent university figures, such as Gary Patterson, head football coach, and Victor Boschini, the chancellor. Two of the biggest stories I broke was the issue of some foreign students having.

I edited stories for content and grammar for the Skiff. In addition, I also created headlines for the articles that would appear in the paper the following day. The main part of the job was to double and triple check facts and names to make sure they were correctly spelled or did not contain erroneous information. This entailed looking up names in.

As an intern for Univision Dallas, I helped assist the news gathering process for the reporters by calling police/officials for conformations on information, helping gather additional information on location for reporters to use in their stories, and going through the numerous tips the station received each day to figure out what was newsworthy.For.
