My name is Melissa. I'm currently a student over at SUNY Purchase, where I am majoring in journalism with a concentration in photography. Ideally, I would like to work as a photojournalist for some time, then perhaps work as an arts lawyer one day. For now, I'm content just taking pictures and writing.
I'm essentially using this blog as a sort of portfolio for my work of publications and photography. I started this as a requirement for a class that I have to take, but would like to keep it going strong.
I plan on writing about my experiences as a journalism student and also as an intern; in the past I've interned at WBFO (a National Public Radio affialiate) and Columbia Journalism Review. I'm currently searching for a summer internship now, and am looking at various publications. I've posted a bunch of news and media-oriented website links that are great resources for any journalism student (or just the average curious individual.)

Feel free to drop me a comment or send me an email if you have any questions, suggestions, etc. I would love to hear from anyone. I will be posting more of my photography up soon. My computer recently completely broke down, (where all of my pictures were saved!) so this may take a while.

Here are some links to my articles:
