The total number of crimes reported during spring 2014 was 317, with 101 reported in January alone. In spring 2015, 167 crimes were reported. “There’s a lot of factors that affect crimes,” Capt.

At The Shorthorn, I learned how journalists really think and operate. I quickly learned how to ask the right questions to build a great story, as well as how to structure it in a concise manner that created impact. These skills have not only helped me in writing successful pitches to the media, but also in writing brand stories for clients. I’ve seen, in many cases, that the best publicists were once the best journalists.
