Steven Matthews - Profile and Journalist Details

Biography

I'm a journalism major with a great eye for detail and a penchant for getting to the bottom of a story. I'm a strong interviewer, partially because I like talking to people, partially because I'm willing to get a little knowledge about a subject ahead of time - so I know what to ask. I also enjoy data diving to find a story. I've spent quite a few nights sifting through PDFs and data dashboards. Just give me coffee. I'm also adept with multi-media projects. Radio, broadcast, podcast - and the ability to edit all, mostly with Adobe. I also have some editor experience. More copy-editing than editing, but I also spent two semesters at LBCC as a managing editor and then the editor-in-chief.
