I attended a speaker session in the fall where Natalie Kim spoke about her experience starting off in the advertising industry. She shared some stories, advice, a little biography – the things you expect from a speaker. She also provided a little help with something that many students (from any major) might not think about …
In this political climate like no one has ever seen, I truly admire the work that Karina Kling does. It takes a lot of grit, grace and passion to do a job that deals with very controversial material day in and day out, but Karina does it with class. A member of the graduating master’s …
Oscar Díaz started working for the radio when he was 18 years old in order to pay for his studies at the University of Lima, Peru. At the age of 23 he got his own radio show where he interviewed politicians, academics and writers. This show would become the second most popular political program on …
My first and only fall semester at Newhouse was a pleasure to take on, as I found myself diligently putting time into my academics and news media startup.

The landscape in the rear-view mirror looks pleasant, but you’re still on open waters and there’s no telling what might be coming next. Well, there’s some telling. We know it’s eventually going to be more …
I took the train home this year. I’ve done it before in undergrad from Hastings, Nebraska into Denver, Colorado and it took about 7 hours, which is the same amount of time it takes to drive (except I can sleep, which is amazing). This time I ventured on the train because it was easier to …
