Danielle McKinney, the fall 2019 co-editor-in-chief of the Express knew she was meant for journalism when she signed up for her first-ever journalism class spring 2018. She had always had an interest in journalism, but it wasn’t something that she pursued right away.
“I tried all of these things and wasn’t really feeling a passion there,” says McKinney. “You know when you get that feeling of ‘This is where I’m supposed to be and what I’m supposed to be doing,’ that was totally the feeling I got and continue to have every day that I’m in class.”
McKinney started at the Express as a staff writer and in her second semester, she became the news editor. In her new role as co-editor-in-chief, she hopes to inspire and encourage newcomers to the Express.
“I’m looking forward to sharing what I’ve learned so far with others,” says McKinney. “The journalism department at City College has really helped me grow my skill set and I know there will be lots more learning this semester.”
As she pursues her career in journalism, she hopes to explore every avenue. McKinney has always been fascinated by radio broadcasting and her dream job is a career with Capital Public Radio where she would be able to share the news and spread awareness of what’s going on in the world.
