Hi, I graduated from Southern Illinois University Carbondale with my Bachelors in Communication Studies. I mainly focus in print journalism, but have a fair bit of experience in photojournalism. If anyone knows of any jobs in the St. Louis area I can look into that would be great!

Have you considered doing any freelance writing and/or starting a substack? i feel like a really good way to land a job in the communications/journalism space these days is to have your voice established already on your own. If people can look at your work on Substack you'll be much more likely to get noticed!

Thanks I’ll check it out.

Journalism is the best job in the world but I feel like people are less likely to take my work seriously because I am female.

Is there some way I can tell my supervisor that yes, I do like those stories, but I like being a serious reporter even more?

Greetings from Madison, Wisconsin. I'm a reporter with more than 32 years of experience and I feel that, lately, local television news has been kind of dead, but I am pleased to fight for it from my local newspaper. Locals love to see someone from their own town succeeding or finding out something inspiring.

I am a firm believer that this will not change for a long time, local TV will continue to live as long as we stand for it.
