Last semester, my media center shift fell on Monday mornings from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. It was without a doubt the highlight of my week—not only because I got to write stories for USC Annenberg Media, but also because I looked forward to the editorial meeting at 8:30 a.m. I love editorial meetings because I enjoy hearing about the day’s news, talking through stories and collaborating as a...
Notebook in hand, I slid into the group of scouts and executives from the Phoenix Suns, and stood around casually, talking to fellow student Andie Wright. The moment the conversation died down, I seized my chance:

Instead, it was more of an anticipation of figuring out the structure behind these company visits and learning more about the...

Why did you choose to attend Annenberg? For me it really came down to the community. You always hear about the “Trojan Network” and how connected we are here at Annenberg but it goes so much further than that. It’s the relationships. When I visited the campus and met the...
