Kourtni Jefson. Backpack Journalism
I am currently a junior at Washington State University. I certified into the Edward R. Murrow College of Communication during Spring semester of my first year at WSU (Spring 2014). I am currently studying journalism and media production.
I am interested in reporting and production. My dream job is to work for a large broadcast network. I have been interested in foreign correspondence and am excited to be reporting in Thessaloniki, Greece as a Backpack Journalist for the Edward R. Murrow College of Communication.
International Reporting Experience: Havana, Cuba. Summer 2015, I had the unique opportunity to join faculty and peers on the trip of a lifetime. The majority of my best work stemed from the work I did in Cuba. Through the trip, I have also learned what I needed to improve on and have worked diligently to better my reporting. I not only reported on international affairs, but I also developed my own style of reporting, as well as various skills.
