Newspaper students attend Dallas Morning News’ Journalism day workshop

Four newspaper students, Kyleigh Anderson, Liz Abrams, Brooke Vincent, and Destiny Quezada attended Dallas Morning News’ Journalism day workshops at City Place Event Center April 10.

“It was insightful and motivational. It made me want to be out in the field,” Vincent said.

Each student attended three workshops of their choice; from sports writing to interviewing techniques. Dallas Morning News offered many sessions.

“My favorite workshop was the breaking news session because the speaker, Robert Wilonsky, was very animated and passionate about his career,” Quezada said.

Channel 8 news’ anchor John McCaa spoke to all attendants about journalism relevance in the world and the future of journalism.

“John McCaa was inspirational in the way he spoke about journalism always having a career and news never going away,” Abrams said.

OMG! Hi. I’m Kyleigh Anderson, your Sports Editor. LOL. I’m a varsity cheerleader. GO RAIDERS! I’m like totally in love with writing, but only journalism and especially sports. I’m an obnoxious and clumsy blonde, obvi as you can totally tell in my pic. Anyway, I’ve been a part of journalism with Mrs.Thedford for four years. She’s my fav. So is the color pink. Yeah. So, my friends and my family are my world. Especially my baby brothers, Coleton and Caden. OH! And my boyfriend Brady. I’m all about school spirit. I talk really loud, fast and of course a lot. I’m not one to sit still and I’m always up to do something totally out of the ordinary. You’ll fall in love with my pretty face easily, so watch out. I mean, who doesn’t love your typical blonde cheerleader? LOL. On a serious note… I’m not at all your stereotypical blonde cheerleader. I’d love to attend Baylor University to study, as well as major in communications or event planning. I aspire to make a mark in this world and leave a legacy behind. I’ll always follow my arrow wherever it points. I’m an active member of the class of 2015 and huge on Raider Nation. Friday Night Lights are what I look forward to every week and they will always be a part of my life. Living for our fallen Raiders Nahum, Andy, and Ivan. The quote “It’s a great day to be alive and a great day to be a Raider” exemplifies my life.
