Ouch That Hertz!New York, NY/ Detroit, MI  – Staff Writer    May 2014-Present
Album Reviews
I chose an album or was assigned an album, and I spent about a week listening to the album multiple times a day, and wrote down a basic outline of the highlights of the album.  Further, I would conduct research on the band and their musical patterns if I was unfamiliar with their previous work, and I would compare their latest work to their previous releases.

Conducting interviews
I gathered information on my subject, and I would write down a few main questions that I had and I would let the interview

Covering shows/ show reviews
I bought my own ticket to a show, and attended the show, during the show I would take notes on my phone, and record segments for my own personal records to refer back too. The next day I would begin drafting my review of the show, and generally by the end of the day, I submitted my article to be published. *The only show I went to for free was Warped Tour 2016 when I was conducting press.

I ran a small feature for the News @ Noon (aired on Fridays at noon) and I gave a brief album review and picked singles to play over the radio for the students. I also researched the artists I chose and would provide information about the chosen artist.

During my time with OTH! I covered the Detroit date for Warped Tour in 2016, which included official credentials, access to the press box, and the artist’s tour bus lot.
