A breath of fresh air

Hello Winston-Salem State community, my name is Jordan Howse and I am the editor in chief of the News Argus for the 2010-2011 school year.

It's really ironic that I am working on a newspaper because I have not always been interested in working in media.

   In 2008, I returned to WSSU and became a mass communications major and began contributing articles to the Argus.

After I completed my internship at The High Point Enterprise this summer, I knew the newsroom is where I wanted to be.

I got a lot of experience as a writer and I hope to get a lot of editing experience this school year.

     The News Argus is an award-winning newspaper. And my goal, like my predecessors is to keep bringing home the prizes. I am more than confident that my hardworking staff and I will do our best to make WSSU proud.

     We will present news that is relevant, accurate, fair, balanced, informative and entertaining.

I hope to get students more interested and knowledgeable about the activities, events and issues that happen on campus and in the nation.

     Not only are we working hard to make both the print Argus a good news source, but we are also adding some exciting new additions to Argus online.

    It's undergoing an upgrade and soon we will become more interactive and feature more multimedia.

     As a new campus leader, this will be a learning process and I appreciate anything students, faculty and alumni can teach me. I am looking forward to receiving suggestions and news tips, so please come to my office G005 in Carolina Hall or send e-mail to jhowse106@wssu.edu.

     Rumor is journalists are a dying breed,but I intend to resuscitate.
