Keeping a hand in education journalism
Readers of this blog know that in September I transitioned from covering education for the Dayton Daily News to writing editorials and columns as a member of the newspaper’s editorial board. And if you’ve followed this blog and the Matter of Opinion blog you know I continue to write a lot about education in my new role.
Fortunately, I will now have another avenue stay involved in education writing. Last week I was named to the board of directors of the National Education Writers Association.
EWA is a fantastic organization that I have been involved with for more than a decade. It provides a huge amount of training and seminar opportunities for education journalists of all stripes, bringing in the very best experts in education policy for journalists to learn from, question and use as contacts for stories.
I’m very pleased to have been asked to join the board and hope I can help the organization continue to make a difference promoting quality education journalism.

Congratulations. Your contributions will be an asset to them and what you are able to bring back to the Dayton conversation, an asset to us.
