On Friday, March 8th, Anna Loy, Lola Conopio-Mora, and I all went to a lecture led by Andrew DeVigal at the PDX Media Day. His lecture, titled So You Want to Launch a Podcast, was about exactly what it’s titled. He went in depth about the why-how-what format he uses in his podcasts and how it is effective. We went to his podcast because after are in-class experience with podcasts we wanted to learn more about creating podcasts. We learned a lot from his slideshow, and he gave us the link to refer to it outside of the lecture so that we can continue to learn from it in the future.

Andrew DeVigal is an Emmy- Award-winning journalist who is known for his innovative way of connecting people and ideas into dynamic stories (DeVigal). He is the current professor of practice at the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism and Communications and works to produce better student journalism and improve democracy (DeVigal). DeVigal shares hat he is a former Multimedia Editor of the New York Times. He writes about his goal to turn the newsroom into a digital and interactive place. DeVigal is incredibly talented and well known throughout the journalism community.


At his lecture, my biggest takeaway was the popularity of podcasts and their creation. I was impressed by how basic it is to start a podcast even from home, and I appreciated how he showed us how to DIY it. DeVigal also introduced a format that is why-how-what so that you can show people the importance of what you are talking about. I learned a lot about podcasts and I was super impressed by DeVigal himself.

    I like how you described DeVigal and talked about how starting a podcast isn't as hard as it seems. Also your writing has nice flow.

Guest post by rising sophomore Sandra Thein, photos courtesy of Kelly Ryu and Emilie Kono I love those college YouTube videos: “2018 COLLEGE DECISION REACTIONS - IVY LEAGUE AND MORE!” The enthusiasm and gratitude the applicants radiate upon hearing where they will be spending the next four years of their lives is inspiring and motivating for a high school student like me.  I'm also inspired by students closer to home. Graduating senior Emilie Kono is a student athlete with a love for science and music. "Bo th in and outside of school," says Kono, "my family, friends, coaches, teachers and mentors have all been incredibly supportive in pushing me to reach my full potential; I can’t thank them enough! I knew that I wanted to be at an academically high achieving school and Stanford was an excellent choice. Between the incredible professors, facilities and some of the brightest students in the nation, I knew that I would be lucky to join them.” The only

By Faith Pauken, www.cardinaltimes.org staff member All photos by Faith Pauken Photojournalism is a form of journalism that provides images to aid in the telling of a story or news. Pictures contribute to the overall perception one may have about an article. By giving the reader a visual, they’re able to imagine what the event looked like, whether that’s showing what 100,000 people look like during a protest, or the face of an artist. During my journey through photography over the last year, I’ve been able to expand my knowledge on what makes a good photo, how to track people down and how to manage unexpected obstacles. Football/Sports Photography My personal favorite event to photograph for the last two years has been football. The fall sports season is packed with events having football easily be the most popular event on a Friday evening which makes it an important event to capture. If someone misses one game they feel like they missed out; this is where my job

Frankie Lopez Profile By: Alexander Rozas When you picture a star soccer player’s life, you might imagine them attractive, popular and smart. However, soccer star Francisco Lopez was depressed, bullied and during his professional career was riddled with sports anxiety. Now he helps kids who are going through the same mental problems he did. Lopez remembers that the peak of his soccer career was in his senior year of high school where McMinnville High School made the finals. “Before that, not many people came to the games, but during the finals over 4,000 people came to support the team,” said Lopez. The game ended with McMinnville beating the powerhouse Jesuit 8-7 in a penalty shootout. It was a dream come true. “Winning the State Championship was the best feeling of my life and I haven’t been able to replicate that feeling or experience,” said Lopez. “It really brought the community together.” Lopez ended up bringing the trophy home with him and slept with
