Brian's News Portfolio
Listed on the left hand side are just a few samples of news articles that I wrote at Radford University. I have began writing news since I started college and have continued ever since. I've taken short breaks here and there to take a breather since I'm so busy all of the time but I have returned to writing for The Tartan and plan to returning to writing for Whim Online Magazine as well.
I am currently writing for The Tartan, writing at least 2 stories each week. I have found the deadlines and responsiblities in writing for the paper both challenging and reward. I have gained general experience in the field of reporting and by generating story ideas, writing hard and feature news stories, and working on long-range projects while being a full time student.
For the Whim Online Magazine, I wrote numerous articles, but over time I felt driven to write about the Islamic religion in installments, clearing up the misconceptions of Muslims and report accurately on what they truly practice. I studied subjects such as food, the treatment of women, the Ramadan holiday, and Islamic customs. These articles have received positive reviews. I will return to writing for the Whim with a series that will focus on male body image that will be in installments.
