WVU School of Journalism to host magazine writing panel discussion

Interested in a career in the magazine publishing industry?

A student group at the West Virginia University P.I. Reed School of Journalism is hosting a panel discussion about magazine writing at 6 p.m. Sunday (March 16) in Room 205, Martin Hall.

Industry professionals will speak about what jobs are available and what it’s like to work at local and regional magazines.

The student group, All Things Magazine: Ed on Campus, which formed last fall for students interested in magazine writing, organized the discussion. The public is invited to attend.

Panelists include Dana Coester, moderator and WVU assistant vice president for branding and creative direction; Doug Heuck, publisher of Pittsburgh Quarterly; Bryan Stealey, managing editor of Racer X Illustrated and Road Racer X; Richard Kelly, a freelance magazine photographer in Pittsburgh; and Michael Yablonski, editor and publisher of Pittsburgh Professional Magazine.

Before the panel discussion, students can take part in a resume critique session at 5 p.m. in Room 201, Martin Hall.
