Humber Et Cetera:
For the Humber Et Cetera, I was the In Focus Editor. I designed all of the pages as well as managed a group of second year students and helped them get their stories and meet deadlines. However, In my second year, I also wrote stories for this same section. The In Focus section allowed me to focus on many areas including Entertainment, News, Sports and Local Events. We focused on a certain topic every week which always gave us a challenge, whether it was making the stories or getting them to deadline. You can see my section below.

The Daily Planet:

The Daily Planet is an online news source that was started at Humber College this year. I wrote numerous articles and was an editor for the Entertainment section, working on at least 3 to 4 stories each week. The course is still getting some things worked out so it is very hard to find my articles, but a quick tour of the site will give you an idea of what was expected of me in this course.

Etobicoke Guardian:
I have two articles published in the Etobicoke Guardian. For the DJ story, a professional photographer met up with me to take a good shot. They both made it into the paper that week. You can check them out online here:
