PDX Media Day

By Anna Loy

At PDX Media Day on Friday, March 8th, Andrew Devigal talked to me and other students interested in journalism. He led a group discussion about making podcasts. Not only did Devigal teach us the basics of making a podcast, he also encouraged us to think about why we want to make podcasts.


Devigal is very experienced when it comes to journalism. He specializes in multimedia, having been the multimedia editor at the New York Times, arguably our nation’s leading newspaper. While working there, Devigal won an Emmy for Outstanding New Approaches: Documentary. Now, he works at University of Oregon. There, he teaches classes at the School of Journalism and runs a podcast on campus.

I found Devigal’s experience to make him very knowledgeable, showing us how to make podcasts while keeping them fresh and innovative.

    I really liked the detailed background information so that we know his past experience with journalism and podcasts. I also liked that you added a bit of your own thoughts on it at the end.

    As someone who didn't go on the field trip I thought this was very interesting to learn about what you learned there.

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

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
