About Me
Find me on Flickr Twitter LinkedIn
I am a graduate student in new media at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. I was a 2008 Carnegie-Knight Journalism Fellow and have interned at TIME Magazine in Hong Kong, The Portland Oregonian, The Seattle Times, The Scripps Howard News Wire and National Public Radio.
My work has also been published by Chicago Public Radio, The Huffington Post, The Rocky Mountain News, The San Diego Union-Tribune, The Arizona Daily Star, The Ventura County Star, and HGTV Ideas Magazine.
As an intern at TIME, I worked as an integral part of the three-member Hong Kong web team. I was responsible for editing and producing stories, updating The Page politics blog every day, keeping the site up to date with breaking news and pitching, reporting and writing news, life, travel and arts stories. I was published online and in both the Asia and U.S. editions of the magazine. I was also the first intern to build a flash graphic to accompany a story. (See my clips here)
Before moving to Hong Kong I was the Editor in Chief of The Windy Citizen in Chicago, and a freelance reporter for Vocalo Radio, a subsidiary of Chicago Public Radio. For the Windy Citizen I recruited and maintained an network of more than 40 bloggers, edited and produced content and worked closely with the founder and publisher, Brad Flora, to consistently better our site.
I am proficient in Adobe’s Dreamweaver, Flash (AS 2.0), Photoshop and InDesign. I edit video and audio in Avid, Premiere Elements and Audacity. I know my way around content management systems and have a working knowledge of HTML and CSS.
My work for NEWSMIXER:
I was recently a part of Team Crunchberry, the group that built the conversational news Web site, News Mixer. I was co-leader/coordinator of the project and also completed industry research and helped assemble and edit the final report. My primary task for the project was user interface and design. As part of the design team, I designed, tested and redesigned the three commenting structures. I also designed the homepage, article page and created the look and feel of the site.
ABOUT KAYLAWEBLEY.COM
As you may have noticed kaylawebley.com is looking a little different these days. It isn’t perfect yet. I still have a lot of work to do, but it is a start. kaylawebley.com will now be my personal Web site.
On the homepage I will blog about my travels, interesting articles I find and whatever else I feel compelled to share with the blogosphere. Under “Published work” you will find an archive of my stories, from the very first story I wrote for my college newspaper up to when I started at Medill. I plan to post everything I have written in graduate school as soon as possible. Under “My clips” you will find the best of my work samples including new media and design work, radio stories and highlights from my written work. If you want to know more about me, I suggest reading my resume.
Thank you for visiting.
