The Standard is a weekly North Durham newspaper with a circulation of over 12,000 copies.I was acting Editor of The Standard's Arts and Ent. section, as well as the primary photographer and city council reporter for the publication. I have multiple front-page photos published, as well as a weekly colour photo-pages inside.A combination of following assigned leads and discovering my own contacts for stories allows our publication to be filled with a variety of content, including sports, the arts, community matters and local politics.I wrote a bi-weekly column known as 'Shoot First, Ask Later' and create Editorials on behalf of The Standard staff.My other responsibilities include copy editing and page layout with Adobe InDesign, affecting a public relations role within the community, and staying in contact with local organizers and politicians to stay 'in the loop'.I specialize in the production of feature and human-interest pieces, as well as longer documentary projects.Meeting strict deadlines and developing a concise schedule allow me to perform my duties to their fullest potential.
