My name is Morgan and I’m a senior PR major at Texas State. I graduate in May and plan to go on to work in the non-profit or agency world. I haven’t had much experience with data journalism but I am very intrigued by it and am always drawn to stories told through data. I like the idea of finding a creative way to tell stories with facts and data and know that it is definitely the future of journalism. With data journalism, we now have the opportunity to take information that was formerly incomprehensible or unreachable and turn it into something people are actually interested in reading or interacting with.
As far as music is concerned I am very interested in the Texas Country scene as well as local country and folk artists. I would love to look at data related to either of these genres, maybe comparing them to nationally acclaimed artists and the differences in their careers.
