ELON NEWS NETWORK
Elon News Network is a student-run news organization at Elon University in Alamance County, North Carolina. The newsroom produces content on multiple platforms, including online, print, broadcast and radio.

During these formative years of my journalism career, I held the positions of multimedia reporter, enterprise editor and managing editor. Despite the all-nighters, skipped classes and gray hairs that came with student news — I adored every minute of it. |
