Channing Turner

I work on the breaking news desk, producing content for azcentral.com. The majority of my work involves contacting police and community public information officers to gather information on breaking news situations. My editors also frequently dispatch me to the scene of compelling stories.

I currently write a weekly opinion column in The State Press, Arizona State University's campus newspaper. I am responsible for finding a topic, researching information and writing the column.

For the Fall '08 semester, I worked in the broadcast lab at ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications. I was responsible for checking out and maintaining broadcast equipment including cameras, video recorders, audio recorders, tripods and mics.

During the Spring 2008 semester, I worked as an Arts & Entertainment reporter for The State Press, Arizona State University's campus newspaper. In the fall, I became a full-time news reporter, responsible for producing three stories a week.
