Whitney Rhodes was a student at George Mason University. She served as online managing editor for Mason's traditional print publication, Broadside. This semester she broke apart from Broadside and started a new daily news/convergence website called Connect Mason (www.connect2mason.com). The site offers breaking news, multimedia packages and user-generated content for the Mason community. She graduated this summer with a BA in communication, focus in journalism and now works in Camden, NJ as Asst. New Media Editor for the Courier-Post.
Vacation? There are no vacations anymore in journalism. We all work all the time.
You should plan a trip some weekend. It's a great place. And odds are life in suburban Jersey will drive you nuts if you don't get to the city every so often.
I'm doing pretty well...thanks for asking.
My daughter turns two in a few weeks. My business is going pretty well. Life is good.
When do u start your new gig? Will you be in NYC anytime soon?
Ah! How was USAT last summer? I'll take all the pointers I can get - It's not in their best interest to stick me in the corner to make coffee, but I know I'll need to be kick ass in order to get some real work. Send me your wisdom - Haha. - Glenna. P.S. I've seen Connect Mason - It's some cool stuff. Way to go.
Whitney, Paul Conley told me today you just got hired by Gannett - He said you're working in New Jersey; I'll be at USA Today. Are you in the Talent Development Program, too, or is your job different? Just wanted to say Hi since we'll be Gannett newbies together. - Glenna.
Hi Whitney,
It's great to see you here.
BTW, I mentioned you on my blog the other day.
