Journalist Halle Parker presents to a room of students. The screen shows episodes of the podcast “Sea Change.”

Thank you @halleparker.bsky.social for sharing your journalism journey with @newhousesu.bsky.social students last week! Halle talked to students in news literacy, reporting and podcasting classes about how journalists can make complex, seemingly “un-sexy” stories understandable.

What a rewarding weekend with our @newhousemnd.bsky.social undergrads in NYC! Our fabulous @newhousesu.bsky.social alumni and media partners were open and honest about what it takes to work in media and live in the city after graduation. Thank you to those who hosted us and networked with students!

PR🤝Journalism. Lucky to have colleagues like @laurenbavis.bsky.social! We had 50 PR and journalism students take part in a media relations workshop last Friday. They gained respect for each discipline and learned ways to support one another! #BothSidesOfThePodium

We had such a great turnout for what was hopefully the first Both Sides of the Podium interactive news conference workshop! Dozens of @newhousesu.bsky.social students left with practical tips to hold and cover media briefings. Thanks to my amazing collaborator, @erikajschneider.bsky.social!

I made it three (3) weeks with my professional bag before switching to a backpack.

I might look like a dweeb, but I’m an ergonomic dweeb.

Lauren, wearing navy blue and orange, stands with arms outstretched in front of a building on Syracuse University’s campus.

I’m sure I’ll be jaded by this time next year, but I’m just so enamored with the back to campus experience right now.

They still wear lanyards! There’s a poster sale on campus!

My favorite thing about Syracuse so far is that reusable bags are not just encouraged — they are mandatory.

Indiana would NEVER
