Things to Come

Since the CHIMES editors' arrival in New Orleans, it’s been nothing but food, friends and journalism. Of course, I’m going to try and avoid talking about the nightlife of New Orleans, because what happens here ends up on Instagram.

Each year these conventions only seem to get better, with  the things you learn, the people you meet, and then, of course, the memories that remain.

Attending these conventions is the best to way to stay motivated and continue to have the ambition to pursue a career in any media-related field.  After sitting through the stories of successful journalists, professors, broadcasters and reporters, every single CHIMES editor is going to be heading back to Morrisville with a journalism- fueled headache (in a good way).

Here comes my favorite part of the convention. After meeting an unforgettable trio of gentlemen from www.schoolnewspapersonline.com, the CHIMES editors have committed to an online transformation and will have a completely new design within the next few weeks. The new site will be easier to use and navigate for both readers and editors.

The Web site being redone, and is definitely something you’ll want to look out for. I’d hate to give it all away already, so I’m just going to go ahead and say just wait and see.

Sorry, Morrisville, but the 70-degree weather is just too nice to come back just yet!
