Gordon College News Service Update

This semester, I have an internship with the Gordon College News Service, a group of writers who produce news stories "from the next generation" for local media partners in the Boston/North Shore area. Since the Amandangle is something of a portfolio, I'll be sharing links to my News Service articles, which you can view in full at the GCNS blog. I'm playing catch-up today (so sorry for neglecting you, Amandangle).

Until Tuesday, the upcoming CD release party for local band Adam Ezra Group (AEG) was scheduled to be just that: a release party. But when disaster struck in Haiti, the Boston-based musicians changed their plans.

North Shore Christian Schools Weather the Economic Storm
January 26, 2010

If a handful of Massachusetts’s Christian schools have weathered the economic crisis, it’s not because the storm didn’t hit. “We’ve had to batten down the hatches,” said Tom Stoner, headmaster of Covenant Christian Academy in Peabody.

Dwight & Nicole Signing On with New Release
February 2, 2010
This story appeared in the Somerville section of the Boston Globe Regional.

Local drivers may complain about the lack of street signs, but for Nicole Nelson, 31, and Dwight Ritcher, 34,—aka, Dwight & Nicole—Somerville has been full of signs. Now they’ve arrived at their long-awaited debut album, appropriately dubbed “!Signs,” whose release the blues duo will celebrate Friday, February 5th at the Somerville Theatre in Davis Square as a thank you concert for their fans there.

-----------------------------

My co-interns have some really fun stories up, as well, so for my readers who are bored at work, I recommend taking a peek. I mean, no! I would never suggest reading blogs when one ought to be working! Never. But you really should. When you get home, that is.

One last thing: I'd like to thank the talented and benevolent Stephanie Faris (of Steph in the City) for the lovely "You're Going Places" award. Here's hoping she's right!


The rules say I have to pass this on to ten other bloggers, but I don't follow very many blogs, so I'm just passing it on to one - another fledgling writer like me who's off to a pretty good start. Godspeed, Katie McCoach.

I had thought I was following yours and commenting on yours and I guess my link was wrong, no wonder something felt off the whole time. So please don't think I was neglecting you at all I really cant wait to catch up on all i've missed and the comments. Your comments have really been great, its a big support and thank you so much!


    PS your internship sounds like fun, was it hard finding an internship? I'm in the search now, and you know the writing/publishin world is limited
