Hey @ua_jcm students! Want advice on how to be a good journalist? Here’s what the editors of your on-campus and local publications have to say!

“Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do a story because you’re a student.” - Rebecca Rakowitz, @alicethemag
In terms of producing more than hard news focused on the university and Tuscaloosa: “We try to spread the coverage around as much as we can locally” - Steve Diorio (@sdioriojr), @wvua23
“I think @alicethemag is trying to build on a culture that’s growing... I think we have a lot of really powerful women on this campus and we’re trying to report that.” - Rebecca Rakowitz
On @tuscaloosanews reporters who are former UA students: “It’s interesting to watch them report on the culture... what’s changed, what hasn’t over the years.” - @edenoch
“#MeToo is always important to us, as well as diversity in media and how women are portrayed. We don’t do touch ups on our models. That’s really important to us.” - Rebecca Rakowitz, @alicethemag
Most important issue facing the university right now ? “I have a hard time picking just one... if it happens on campus I’m interested in it” - Jake Stevens, @TheCrimsonWhite adding that diversity is very important to the paper.
