Chatting with Abi

In my freshmen year, a friend of mine told me about the journalism class she was taking and recommended that I join it with her. Now here I am, two years later, a part of The Pony Express newspaper.
I really enjoy writing and I always found the process of finding stories fascinating so I thought that journalism would be an interesting elective to take. I joined journalism last year during distance learning, and wrote for the Features section as a staff writer. I wrote many articles for The Pony Express and conducted many interviews through email and Zoom. I really enjoyed writing articles for Features, because I found the articles to be interesting and relevant to many students, including myself.
I am now the new editor for Features, and am really excited to not only write but also edit articles for the Features section. I am ecstatic to get to write and interview in person for the first time, since my previous year was fully online. Getting to be a part of an in-person newspaper is a new and exciting experience that I am very grateful to have.
As the new year, post-distance-learning, starts to take off, I want to be able to create an interesting and well-rounded Features section. One of my goals for Features this year is to have a monthly theme that connects all the articles in the section. My goal is to create a section with articles that are interesting and relevant to what's going on at Pioneer, so that students can engage more with the articles. The Features section shows the lighter side of Pioneer and focuses on human interests, so if you have any stories that pertain to the Pioneer campus please send them! Our email is [email protected]. We would love to write an article on a story you find.
