An alumni of University of Montana, earning a degree in Broadcast Journalism, while winning both the Society of Professional Journalists award and Hearst Journalism award, Crystal Ligori is an accomplished producer and newscasters for OPB. Aside from being a producer and newscaster, she is also a freelance voice over artist.

We were fortunate enough to have her as a guest speaker and journalist. With her time with us, we were able to learn more about what her daily life looks like, and how to create podcasts. From day to day, she is able to go to work at around ten in the morning and get back home at around seven at night. This allows her to have time to sleep in, and still do what she loves.

After some background about her job, we were able to start our podcast the next class. My group decided to do ours about food, and what Lincoln student’s opinions are. Once we had written our intro, summary, and some interview questions, she helped walk us through the process. While the first step of getting the introduction recorded, a few of my group members went to find intro music and outro music for our podcast on the Free Music Archive. When all of the interviews were done, and the summary was recorded, it was time to put it all together.

In order to perfect our podcast, we had to go through each of our own sections and cut out unnecessary parts or edit the volume of the recording. Although we didn’t have the time to edit the whole thing, we managed to end class with a finish podcast. We had our intro music that slid into the start of it, and the outro slowing ending it.

Overall, I enjoyed being given the chance to make a podcast. In the beginning I was a bit wary about the whole process, and how I would sound, but it ended up going a lot smoother than expected.

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
