Student Story

Caitlin Downing

“I think working with the Oglethorpe Echo has by far been the greatest experience as a student at Grady, just because you’re in the field and actively working in a newsroom. No other classes really allowed you to experience that and what it’s going to be like in the real world.”

Student Story

Sidney Chansamone

“I really enjoy being able to do local reporting at The Oglethorpe Echo, and the people there push me to be the best reporter I can be. The student classroom-newsroom dynamic is really unique, and it allows for a lot of growth and innovation. I’ve learned so much more here than I could’ve imagined in just these few months.”
