Two new articles

"Technology of the new generation: BYU working to keep up with the times," published on ksl.com as a KSL contributor! I submitted the article to Deseret Connect a couple weeks ago and knew KSL had accepted it for publication, but didn't know when it would be published. I discovered it on their website by accident while looking for another article my mom recommended.

"Comedy Sportz: where random rules," published on Twenty Twenty Provo, a website recently created by a team of BYU journalism students and faculty. The article is a review about the improv comedy club in downtown Provo.

A nice email

FROM: Moody, J. Ward
TO: J. Henrie

SUBJECT: Thank you

Jessica,

The article you did on me last week was remarkable. Thank you for being so skilled and conscientious. I felt you correctly captured the essence of what I said and am grateful for your painting a positive portrait of me. I continue to get good feedback on it. I wish you the very best as you continue your studies and ask that you inform your advisors that I felt you were in all aspects exactly what a journalist should be. Yes, the piece was designed to be positive and that makes me feel good. But more than that I felt that even if you were assigned to report on a controversial topic, you would be fair and honest.

One question. Is it possible to get a digital copy of my published picture?

Regards,

J. Ward Moody

I usually don't share these, but

I'm really proud of my latest article for work, so even though I rarely post my PR articles on this blog, I decided to share it with you anyway. I hope the videos included at the end bring a smile to your face just as they bring a smile to mine. Enjoy!

The CHEMIGRAM: a BYU alumni newsletter

In addition to being one of the women's basketball reporters for the Daily Universe at one time, I also write articles for the BYU Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. It's public relations at its best; mostly I cover honors, recognitions and awards given to faculty, staff, and/or students in the department. CHEMIGRAM is the name of our annual alumni newsletter, which I've been working on since June with my supervisors and the graphic artist of the department. It was my first complete professional publication; I wrote the majority of the content (about 12 of the 15 pages) and even took some of the pictures. It took almost two months to get the paper to editing stage, at which point it underwent numerous edits before finally going to print the last week of August and appearing on my desk in its polished form TODAY!
