Managing Editor, Alice Echo-News, Rockport Pilot and other newspapers Managed editorial staffs of varying sizes, wrote, edited, shot photos and did layout for several newspapers. Also became well versed in black and white darkroom tasks. FM 102.3 Wrote, voiced and produced three newscasts daily. Also produced commercials and public service announcements. During football season, was live play by play announcer for all Rockport-Fulton High School games.
Necessity is the mother of knowledge also.
While a managing editor with newspapers I discovered housewives with a high school diploma were more reliable and better writers than persons with journalism degrees. I know Microsoft Word, Adobe PageMaker, Adobe PhotoShop and other publishing related programs. Much of the writing I do is in the inverted pyramid style as is used by newspapers. Poetry and fiction have also been published. Much of my writing and photos have been used in University web sites.
