Six in the City is a series of stories that I wrote during my marketing internship at the Lincoln Journal Star newspaper. The primary responsibility of the internship was the Six in the City summer promotion which took six single Lincolnites and provided life coaching, a physical makeover, new clothes, and the means to date others in a simlar situation. The 10-week series in each Sunday's paper was a big hit with Lincoln readers during the summer of 2006. |
"Tips: Keep Your Sport CE Clean & Organized" is an article that gives readers ideas for keeping expensive electronics grime-free. The tip format makes digesting the information quick and easy. |

| "Our Favorite Photo-Sharing Sites" is an article for people who want to learn how to upload, share, and order prints of their digital images. I communicated with several public relations representatives from photo-sharing Web sites to get the detailed information for the article. |
