As editor in chief of The Valley Vanguard, I created a new reporter manual. Since SVSU, my alma mater, didn’t have a journalism program, most new Vanguard reporters did not even know what A.P. stood for when they were first hired. As such, I created a new style guide that was better suited for those brand new at reporting.

From 2016 to 2020, I was a team member of Saginaw Valley State University’s campus newspaper, The Valley Vanguard. I served as the opinion and A&E editor in 2017 and as editor in chief during my final years there. Before leaving the organization, I performed a workplace ethnography, as the newsroom culture change dramatically in those two years. Below is my final report. It was originally created using InDesign.
