PDX Media Day- "See The White Stag"

-


By Amelia Thorpe

          We took a walking field trip through downtown on March 8th with the Mass Communications classes for PDX Media Day. It was located in the White Stag Building near the waterfront, and we got to go to four different sessions to learn about different things all centered around media, and communications. Each lecture was on a different subject and you could learn something about yearbook, reporting, podcasts and much more.

         I went to the first three sessions, and I learned lots about reporting, asking questions, and other aspects to being a journalist. In the fourth session, I went on a tour of the White Stag Sign that says "made in Oregon" and has a stag on it. This was probably my favorite session of PDX Media Day because I got to see something I see almost every week from a different perspective- the roof.

         While the leader of this tour didn't teach or tell us much about the sign, I enjoyed learning from the experience. From the top of the building, we had 360° view of Portland's buildings, with the back of the sign in the foreground. We all snapped photos with the sign, and stayed onto of the roof enjoying the fresh air, and beautiful view. This was such a unique experience, and the best thing I did at PDX Media Day, even with the other very interesting sessions we attended.

    I like how your post was pretty short, but it covered a lot of aspects about the trip and your opinion.

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

Photojournalism

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
