Everyone in the office had always told her that they wanted her to be hired but it would be the final decision of the editor, John Craig, which would determine Pro's future. The following day, without being told that she had gotten the promotion to full-time reporter she saw on the board that he had posted her story. That is when her dream to become a reporter for the Post-Gazette came true. Pro was only the second person to ever be hired to become a full-time writer from a freelancer at the Gazette . After 12 years at the paper, she is responsible for covering all breaking stories like police news, plane crashes and other newsworthy events.
Some stories are always the hardest to write.
Her most recent story involving the plane crash of Flight 1427 was probably the most traumatic story that she has ever written. Recently, I wrote a story involving the plane crash Flight 1427 which exploded 26 seconds after take off. Not only is Johnna a writer, but she is also an associate professor at Point Park College , located in downtown Pittsburgh, where she teaches journalism courses. When she is not at work or teaching, Johnna can be found participating in alumni activities. Pro believes it is very important for graduates to benefit from fellow alumni who are already in the work force.
