I am in the final semester of my yearlong master's journalism program (it's gone by so fast!). The courses I'm taking include Freelance Fundamentals, Narrative Writing and Advanced Reporting, the latter of which I'm doing the bulk of the work for my capstone project  on the decline of arts criticism in traditional media. My final class blends two unique journalism opportunities I've sought out to grow my understanding of editing and enhance my skills: an independent study with Hussman Professor Andy Bechtel on how editors across fields are integrating AI into their workflows, and an internship with The Washington Daily News, a community paper in Washington, North Carolina, as an editing intern.
