Soul of Athens was a special online project completed during Spring Quarter 2008. I was part of a class that handled the Content Management for the project. I found content from other students and coordinated with the project Team Leaders. I also handled a lot of trouble shooting and training for the project.
I got an offer from the AME for Photo to come and work on the Photo Desk as an editor. I started out as an Assignment Editor for the Features and Business sections. Part of the job dealt with making assignments and part of the job dealt with finding and researching photo for different stories. I even took a studio photo specifically for a business story instead of buying a similar photo. I coordinated the shoot and selected the one that would work (and I got a published credit for it).
I’d been trying to move to the NewsDesk for a while, but they liked me in my position in NewsIT, so I kept getting overlooked. But when a friend was going on maternity leave for 6 months, I got an opportunity to fill in for her. I designed pages in the Nation and World section, Business, Inside A and Metro, including section fronts.
