Web Director
1/2013-7/2013
American Student Radio is a national radio station and classroom. ASR was founded in September 2011 at the Indiana University School of Journalism by IU School of Journalism Interim Dean Dr. Michael Evans and Visiting Lecturer Sarah Neal-Estes to give students across the country the ability to make a positive difference in the world with fair, respectful and honest journalism. This position was a part of the Executive Development Team.
I developed questions for several author Q&Aa that were key elements questions for each book. These have been used on the Press’ author spotlights section of the website as well as on the book pages and in their digital press kits. I also read and evaluated reviews received for all titles published by the press. I evaluated these reviews, selected quotes and put them online and into production for printing.
