Michigan State University journalism instructor and State News adviser Omar Sofradzija is no newbie to the writing world. He was a award-winning columnist for the Las Vegas Review-Journal in Nevada. Omar is a blogger, twitter user, and self-proclaimed ESPN news junkie. The role he said he most enjoys is that of mentor.
But, don't take his word for it. (If your mother says she loves you...)
David Cobb, a former student, said Omar is a "fantastic teacher and great resource," and managing editor at The State News Kate Jacobson said he offers a nice perspective to the journalism world.
As a current student of Omar's JRN 200 course, I can say without a doubt that I have learned more about journalism in the last four months than I had as editor of my high school publication. Not only has my writing improved but the way I consume and analyze my work has grown. At times, class with Omar was intimidating and frustrating but through using the tools learned, it became gratifying and (almost) worth the fatals.
