New years typically mean new jobs for me. This year isn’t too different. After a brief hiatus and road trip with some college friends, I’m officially back at school.

But it’s the last semester of my journalism program, which means it’s time for me to get a more practical education in reporting. To earn six of my 12 total credits this semester, I’ll be working four days a week out of the new Knight Hall, a very expensive building the University of Maryland built just for journalism.

The school runs a wire service called Capital News Service. I’ll be writing stories for the wire and also producing interactive multimedia packages for the web for Maryland Newsline, a website that I’ll be helping to redesign during the semester.

On my off days, I’m interning at CSNwashington.com, the newly redesigned website for Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic. They have a new digital media department that’s only six months old, for which I work as a editor/digital producer/writer.

One niche I’ve found for myself recently at Comcast is covering the Washington Capitals at home games. Keep checking back here for links to my stories. Hopefully I’ll start producing some video for the web from post-game interviews soon.
