Here's a summary of my discussion at the CSPA 93rd Annual Spring Convention.
Students of High School Journalism: Use the Author Bio
feature on “newsmag” platforms to strategically build effective online
identities. See if the online platform through your school allows you to post
your picture with a biography statement on your author page. If you create an
author’s bio on your school’s online news site, all your published work will
assemble underneath your name and picture.
Why is the Author Bio feature so important to high school
students? When college admissions officers and future employers type in your
name with your school name, your Author Bio will appear at the top of the
Google page. Anyone can review all your published work by simply clicking on
your name.
