Newswatch demonstrates my early success with communication tools and helped cultivate my blossoming expertise with electronic design, copywriting and public relations.

With feature stories on the front page each week, and designed features like a usable graphic calendar, my new Newswatch became a central focus of activity at the school, as well as great exercise for my Media Studies students and I.

Newswatch even became a public relations feature the President gave to the Board of Trustees and Central Penn Alumni to show what we were doing.

Newswatch Success Highlight
On my arrival to Central Penn I noted Newswatch garnered little interest
as a single sheet of typed announcements. The first of my 4-page editions,
on the other hand, was reprinted three times to meet demand, and normal weekly runs were much closer to the school's population numbers.
