If you get picked as the ‘Super IA’ for your master’s class at Newhouse, it’s a great feeling. I still remember less than a year ago, I was in my second week of summer bootcamp for Broadcast and Digital Journalism. We were in our live radio newscast, and I was under deadline of being the …
The Public Diplomacy master’s class of 2016-2018 will be graduating in the next few weeks. Like their contemporaries in other courses in the Newhouse School, the biggest preoccupation of these students is to find that job (although maybe not the job of their dreams for starters). Most of them that I have spoken to at …
This semester has been tough, and I admit that I am overwhelmed most of the time. Leaving my internship during the week often leaves me feeling like a vegetable when I return to my apartment.

Today I’d like to invite one of my classmates Baihui Chen, of the 69th TRF graduate students of Newhouse, to share some of her experiences around how she grew to be a producer in LA in a short time. Over the course of several months, she has produced more than 10 short films and held …
It’s been a great nine months at Newhouse so far. I’ve had a ton of challenging work, a lot of rewarding projects, and definitely plenty of learning opportunities. One of those learning opportunities actually came today, on spring break. Let me skip the story on this and give you an easy summary: I was stung …
In the past 20 years of my life, I hardly had the chance to live alone. I always stayed with my parents, classmates, and friends. I lived in my home, dorms and an apartment with roommates. My life was covered with school and people; I’d never thought about how I could live alone. However since …
