USA Today
Jay Fagoust came in to talk to us about his job at USA Today. It was an unplanned meeting but it was interesting to meet him. Jay Fagoust graduated from NCCU some time in the 90's and he told us a little about his life. Just like other guests speaker he stressed the importance of internships and how we need to do them. He explained his role at USA Today and how his job goes from day to day. He didn't look like he worked at USA Today by the way he was dressed, but I guess that's what happen when your caught off guard.
Spectacular Magazine
Phyllis Cooley is the creator and owner of Spectacular Magazine. Spectacular Magazine is a local paper form Durham NC. The magazine is designed for the community and Ms. Cooley lets the community submit stories. Ms. Cooley told us that she doesn't sale her cover because her cover are for people that does things and need to be recognized. She said that her cover had no price to it and she made that clear. She also told us how important deadlines are, and how things work on a certain schedule. She told us that her goal is to reach and give hope and empower her community, which I found nice. It's nice to know that there are people that still care about their community and still has integrity.
