Raven Jordan
I am a multifaceted digital journalist, blogger, video and audio editor, and artist based in DFW. I'm currently a General Assignments Writer. I am proficient in AP Style, Microsoft Office and Adobe Suite.
My specific areas of interest in journalism include copyediting, digital editing, research, arts and culture, entertainment and dining. However, I'm open to diversifying my topics and venturing into other areas of coverage.
In the menu at the top of this page, you can find my clips from KSAT 12, Dallas Observer, Denton Record Chronicle, North Texas Daily and more. You can also find my services, examples of graphic design from my ad design class and my Capstone project.
